Whiteness is a way of being in the world characterized by ownership intent on being separated from others. The “whiteness gospel” divides humanity and metastasizes itself into self-sustaining groups whose most basic claim is some characteristic that values superiority over belonging. It is one reason James Baldwin can assess, “…there is no such thing as white community.” In Unless a Seed Falls to the Ground, D.
T. Bryant shares the wounds and rewards of being a native son of this puritanical way of life with the hope of inviting others into a season of hospice spirituality that allows it to die with dignity. It is a plea toward a non-violent end with hope for a new beginning springing from a belonging detached from ownership and superiority.
