Varieties African American Rel - (New Vectors in the Study of Religion and Theology) by Anthony B Pinn (Paperback)

This comprehensive survey of black religious life in America provides an insider's look at five non-Christian indigenous movements, including Voodoo, Orisha devotion, Santeria, the Nation of Islam, and Black Humanism.

Based on extensive interviews, travel, and research, Pinn sheds light on the varied popular religious practices and sites of black Americans, from divination and healing to the surge of black Muslim religion and the emergence of black humanism.

With a focus on the rich diversity of black religious life, this book marks a new era in African American religious studies.
