In her book, the explosive voice of Katie Geneva Cannon as womanist and theological liberation ethicist boldly proclaims the vital presence and contributions of African-American women." --The Presbyterian Outlook "Cannon moves easily from the passion of folklore and legend to the conceptually rich...language of ethics and womanist theology. Her role ''is to speak as "one of the canonical boys" and as the "non-canonical other" at one and the same time.'' In this, she most assuredly succeeds." --Library Journal "Every theologian, student, and lay person should have a copy of Katie''s Canon to measure the breadth and depth of their theological commitment. I strongly recommend it." --James H. Cone
