New Perspectives on the History of “Slave Religion”

This talk and seminar provide an overview of the core themes and questions in the study of enslaved people’s religious cultures in the United States. While we examine the conclusions of twentieth-century luminaries such as W.E.B. Du Bois and Albert J. Raboteau, we also consider more recent theoretical and methodological approaches, which have productively expanded the sites of inquiry in the field.
