Mechal Sobel's fascinating study of the religious history of
slaves and free blacks in antebellum America is presented here in a
compact volume without the appendixes. Sobel's central thesis is
that Africans brought their world views into North America where,
eventually, under the tremendous pressures and hardships of chattel
slavery, they created a coherent faith that preserved and
revitalized crucial African understandings and usages regarding
spirit and soul-travels, while melding them with Christian
understandings of Jesus and individual salvation.
