The late Katie Geneva Cannon was the founder of womanist ethics. Her work continues to generate new explorations of womanist moral thought. In this volume, leading womanist ethicists and theologians come together to continue Cannon’s work in four critical areas: justice, leadership, embodied ethics, and sacred texts. Katie Cannon was the womanist mother, mentor heroine, path breaker, and saint.  The authors carry forward her torch to widening circles of sisters, daughters, partners, and allies. This book's chapters radiate joy, power, solidarity, and compassionate love. These voices speak truth to recalcitrance and strengthen all strugglers, seekers, and freedom-loving spirits in the name of Black womanhood. Anyone committed to racial equality, gender equality, or politically creative theology will be captivated by Walking through the Valley.
