Description: An accessible introduction to African American spirituality that provides a broad overview of developments and includes both Protestant and Catholic traditions. Africans who arrived as slaves in North America from towns and villages in West and Central Africa brought with them the richness and texture of lives. Eight chapters describe the origins of African American spirituality within African traditions and an African worldview; developments during slavery, the Civil War, the brief period of Reconstruction, the Jim Crow laws, and the Civil Rights Movement; the manifestations of this spirituality in music and in the black churches; the contributions of black women; and the various practices of spirituality by black leaders.
