A Qualitative Study of Black Atheists: "Don’t Tell Me You’re One of Those" is an interdisciplinary examination of a group that is rarely the study of inquiry, Black Atheists. Using in-depth, qualitative interviews, Daniel Swann builds a foundation for understanding Black Atheist identities, how Black Atheists conceive of themselves, how they perceive, internalize, and manage stigma, how they view in-group belonging, and how they understand their experiences as Atheists to be racialized. The author argues these unique circumstances have produced a distinctive identity at this particular intersection of race and religion.

In this book, the author discusses the complicated experiences of Black Atheists, in both larger Atheist movement and with respect to their ideological position among Blacks and religion. The book succeeds at its initial goal. It gives a robust literature review of Black Atheism, while at the same time pointing to contemporary issues that Black Atheists face. It is a valuable piece of scholarship in terms of understanding Black life and identity, particularly religious identity.
