Förlagets beskrivning
Presents an introduction to several different faiths practiced in the black community: Buddhism, Catholicism, Judaism, voodoo, and many more."--Library Journal
"An excellent resource for high school and college students studying African-American religion, American religions, and American studies."--MultiCultural Review
"This illustrated chronicle of the spiritual paths of African Americans through major denominations such as Islam and various Christian denominations as well as smaller groups such as Santeria and humanism, includes perspectives on the impact that slavery and civil rights struggles have had on faith practices."--VOYA
Too often, consideration of African American religious expression is limited to considerations of black churches or to aspects of Islamic thought and practice. This comprehensive overview reveals the tremendous diversity of the African American religious communities in America by examining black spiritual churches, Buddhism, humanism, Judaism, Nation of Islam, Protestant churches, the Roman Catholic Church, Santeria, Sunni Islam, and voodoo.
Anthony Pinn opens each chapter with a historical introduction to a specific tradition and the unique African American religious experience within it. This is followed by a timeline of notable events in and details of the religion's practices. The book also contains a glossary of terms, a series of short biographies of important figures in the history of African American religion, and primary source documents that offer first-person accounts of past and present religious practice
