Conjuring Culture: Biblical Formations of Black America - Religion in America
Smith, Theophus H. (Assistant Professor of Religion, Assistant Professor of Religion, Emory University)
In Conjuring culture, Theophus H. Smith attempts to construct a more adequate analysis of African-American culture by using concepts derived from that culture. He bases his critique on the central concept of "conjure", and contends that Biblically-based themes, stories, and especially typology have crucially formed African-American culture as they have been simultaneously reformed and deployed by African-Americans.
