Abstract
Here are my final thoughts about the Standard Narrative of Black Religion that I developed in chapter 2 and elaborated and contested in subsequent chapters. Signifying on Afrocentrism, I coined the term Afro-Eccentricity to grab attention and signal a different approach to what some construe as an isomorphism between black identity and Black Religion as the Black Church. Afro-Eccentricity is a critical pun and trope that accents the internal plurality of blackness, the different in what is often construed as the same and self-identical. Afro-Eccentricity emphasizes minor traditions, contrarian orientations, and “heresies” that have always been part of that motley called Blackamerican identity.
