Book Presentation:
Arguing that spirituality functions as a life-affirming ideology on Black women's art, Ryan (English, Ohio Wesleyan U.) shows how Black women filmmakers and writers, by their choices informing narrative construction and characterization, embrace the role and responsibility of the priestess, bearing and distributing life-force to sustain the community of viewers and readers.
