This dissertation is an effort to think through the complexities of how African American literature interacts with what I am terming the notion of uncalling made visible by the heterodox Christianities that fall out of the scope of the Black. In other words, I analyze Black religiosity as an enactment of radical Black collectivity in counterdistinction to a politics of recognition. I argue it is this figure of the uncalled, operating out of heterodox Black religiosities, that can offer an alternative model for liberation and healing that is not bound up in outward cries for recognition.

God has had His hand on the author's life throughout her days. He has never let her go, no matter the depths of darkness to which she has descended. From her early life loss of her birth father to her marriage to the love of her life and her eventual marriage break up to her blossoming as a vibrant Christian witness to God's saving, healing power, this story is a compelling one of God's constant provision for her in all circumstances.
