In Katie's Canon, Katie Cannon, through a series of essays lays out the intersections of Black liberatory theology and womanist thinking. This connection, with an overarching theme of anti-oppression (anti-capitalist), is shown throughout the book in criticisms of white theology, patriarchal structures of academia, and other forms of hegemonic structures. This book pairs well with James Cone's Black Power & Black Theology. Katie's Canon seeks to use and uplift the Black Womanist tradition as a framework for the liberation of Black women, and the rest of society additionally.
