Invisible Jim Crow investigates the role of contemporary public discourse and the creation of discursive communities, specifically as they pertain to the speculation of post- racialism in the public sphere. The book maintains that understanding the role of public discourse and the creation of discursive communities is vital to understanding ideological domination and its impact on African Americans. The book challenges new developments in Black forms of Christianity to determine if they best serve the interests of African Americans. Looking specifically at the so-called Word Church phenomenon, the book illuminates the drawbacks of this theological idea and exposes its danger to collective African American efforts at human agency. This work investigates the contemporary effects of the imposition of the European worldview on the lives of African Americans. The book maintains that the imposition of the European worldview, which is imposed on African Americans through the operational ethos of American culture, has shifted the intra-racial social landscape of African Americans. Invisible Jim Crow introduces the Doctrine of Wellness of Being as a Sankofan retrieval system designed to re-focus and return African Americans back to their original worldview constructs.
