Exploring the historical context of African American religious traditions, this work delves into the essence of black religion in America, shaped by the experiences of enslavement and systemic oppression. Anthony Pinn examines the diverse expressions of faith, including black Christianity and Voodoo, to uncover a fundamental response to the denial of personhood faced by black individuals. Through his analysis, he highlights the ongoing quest for authentic identity and subjectivity that continues to influence black religious life today, offering a fresh perspective on spirituality and resilience.
