A review by bittersweet_symphony
Go Tell It on the Mountain by James Baldwin

3.0

One of those rare books that portray religion from the perspective of how it's actually lived, rather than from a detached or condescending perch. We see how it informs the language, social norms, and life choices the characters make.

It's refreshing to have a tale of American religion that isn't voyeuristic or belittling of religion (or reductive of its complexities).
