Most who think about African American religion limit themselves to
black churches, or perhaps to aspects of Islamic thought and
practice. But a close look at the religious landscape of African
American communities presents a much more complex, thick, and
layered religious reality comprising many competing faiths and
practices. The African American Religious Experience in America
provides readers with an introduction to the tremendous religious
diversity of African American communities in the United States,
with "snapshots" of 11 religious traditions practiced by African
Americans--from Buddhism to Catholicism, from Judaism to Voodoo.
Each snapshot provides readers a better understanding of how
African Americans practice their faiths in the United States. The
African American Religious Experience in America provides resources
for students taking classes on the history of American religion,
African American Studies, and on American Studies. In addition to
the in-depth discussion of the "varieties of African American
Religion," the volume includes a historical introduction to the
development of African American Religion, a glossary of terms, a
timeline of important events, a series of short biographies of
important figures in the history of African American religion and a
bibliography of sources for further study. Finally, the book
includes a series of primary source documents that will provide
students with first-person accounts of how religion is practiced in
the African American community both today and in the past.
