Characterizing Olaudah Equiano's eighteenth-century narrative of
his life as a type of "scriptural story" that connects the Bible
with identity formation, Vincent L. Wimbush's White Men's Magic
probes not only how the Bible and its reading played a crucial role
in the first colonial contacts between black and white persons in
the North Atlantic but also the process and meaning of what he
terms "scripturalization." By this term, Wimbush means a
social-psychological-political discursive structure or
"semiosphere" that creates a reality and organizes a society in
terms of relations and communications. Because it is based on the
particularities of Equiano's narrative, Wimbush's theoretical work
is not only grounded but inductive, and shows that
scripturalization is bigger than either the historical or the
literary Equiano. Scripturalization was not invented by Equiano, he
says, but it is not quite the same after Equiano.
