Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Dwight York's transformation from a New York street gang member to a Black messiah highlights the complexities of racialist spirituality and the challenges faced by unconventional religions in America. The book explores York's influence on his followers, promoting significant shifts in identity, lifestyle, and gender roles. Through sociological and media perspectives, it examines the increasing hostility towards the Nuwaubian Nation, culminating in a dramatic FBI raid in 2002, drawing parallels to other high-profile confrontations with law enforcement.
