African-Atlantic Cultures and the South Carolina Lowcountry
examines perceptions of the natural world revealed by the religious
ideas and practices of African-descended communities in South
Carolina from the colonial period into the twentieth century.
Focusing on Kongo nature spirits known as the simbi, Ras Michael
Brown describes the essential role religion played in key
historical processes, such as establishing new communities and
incorporating American forms of Christianity into an African-based
spirituality. This book illuminates how people of African descent
engaged the spiritual landscape of the Lowcountry through their
subsistence practices, religious experiences, and political
discourse.
