Description

Book Synopsis
In Conjuring culture, Theophus H. Smith attempts to construct a more adequate analysis of African-American culture by using concepts derived from that culture. He bases his critique on the central concept of conjure, and contends that Biblically-based themes, stories, and especially typology have crucially formed African-American culture as they have been simultaneously reformed and deployed by African-Americans.

Trade Review
A highly original and very creative text....Will represent a new kind of African-American religious scholarship. * Albert J. Raboteau, Princeton University *
