This book offers a creative and unique approach to the history of
African American religion. Tracing what it has meant to be African
American and religious within the context of the United States, it
provides a vital snapshot of some of the traditions that have
shaped the religious imagination of the country. Major themes and
problems encountered by African Americans involved in a variety of
traditions are depicted in a clear and engaging fashion. The
chapters move from the period of slavery and the early arrangement
of religious thought and practice within communities of enslaved
Africans to the more recent growth in the number of African
American "Nones". Drawing on cultural developments such as hip hop,
Anthony Pinn links the language and activities of African American
religious experience to the cultural worlds in which African
Americans live. Introducing African American Religion includes
illustrations, summaries, discussion questions and suggestions for
further reading as well as a glossary and chronology, helping
students to become familiar with the main terms of the traditions
discussed and to place their development in historical context.
