In A Strange Fruit: A Theopoetics of Slavery in Amerika, the author, a 21st-century Theopoet and descendant of enslaved People of Color (POC), explores the complex intersections of colonized religion, chattel slavery, and their enduring impact on the spiritual and cultural identity of POC in America. The term "Strange Fruit" evokes the haunting legacy of lynching and systemic oppression, while also reflecting the fragmented identities that colonialism imposed on POC.Through the lens of Theopoetics, this work uncovers how the religious symbols and meanings that colonized authorities wielded were not merely tools of spiritual control but weapons of dehumanization, leaving deep scars of religious trauma. The book grapples with the ongoing "Meaning Crisis" that many POC face in the 21st century as they struggle to reclaim their sense of self from the grip of oppressive religious and cultural narratives.With powerful insights, A Strange Fruit invites readers to join the Theopoet's journey of remembering the Self beyond colonized authority and imagination. It offers a path to spiritual reclamation, revealing how the process of decolonization is not only a cultural act but a profound spiritual awakening. This book is a compelling reflection on the struggles and resilience of POC, as they seek to transcend the legacies of trauma and reclaim their spiritual and cultural identities in the present day.
