African-American Female Mysticism: Nineteenth Century Religious
Activism adds to the burgeoning conversation regarding
African-American female mysticism. The primary subjects of this
book are three icons of black female spirituality and religious
activism: Jarena Lee, Sojourner Truth, and Rebecca Cox Jackson. All
three of these women are usually identified solely within the
Protestant Christian tradition and their mystical activism does not
fit neatly into a closed monotheistic system. Informed by dreams
and visions, Joy Bostic sheds new light on the ways these women
inhabited complex sacred-social worlds, entertained flexible
notions about divinity, and served as mediators of sacred power in
ways that was transformed their communities.
