Praise

“Deeply researched, elegantly written, and boldly argued, Subversive Habits is a brilliant excavation of the long political history of Black nuns. This is extraordinary scholarship that is as accessible as it is groundbreaking and illuminating. This timely and essential book widens the frames of Black women’s history, of religion and activism, and of Black Catholicism.” — Barbara D. Savage, author of Your Spirits Walk Beside Us: The Politics of Black Religion

“Sweeping in its scope, exhaustively researched, and balanced in presentation, Subversive Habits is a seminal history of Black Catholic Nuns and their struggle for equality and justice in the Catholic Church.” — Bettye Collier-Thomas, author of Jesus, Jobs, and Justice: African American Women and Religion
