Anthony Pinn's engrossing survey highlights the rich diversity of
black religious life in America, revealing manifestations of an
ever-changing black religious quest in four non-Christian
indigenous movements.
Based on extensive interviews, travel, and research --
embellished with ample photos, bibliographies, and case studies --
Pinn provides an insider look at Voodoo, Orisha devotion, Santeria,
the Nation of Islam, and Black Humanism in the U.S. Focusing less
on institutional and doctrinal history and more on the varied
popular religious practices and sites, his volume highlights the
influence of Caribbean religions in the U.S., practices of
divination and healing, the surge of black Muslim religion, the
emergence of black humanism, religious influences on the ethical
practices of black women, and the import of previously overlooked
religious settings (e.g., church women's clubs, local politics,
Pentecostal religion, private religious practices).
The emergent picture, more subtle, varied, and vibrant than
traditional black Christian marks a new era in African American
religious studies.
