Banning Black gods : law and religions of the African disapora
Boaz, Danielle N.2022
Books
'Banning Black Gods' is a global examination of the legal challenges faced by adherents of the most widely practiced African-derived religions in the twenty-first century, including Obeah, Santeria/Lucumi, CandombleĢ, Palo Mayombe, Rastafari, Islam, Vodou, and Voodoo. Examining court cases, laws, human rights reports, and related materials, Danielle N. Boaz argues that restrictions on African diaspora religious freedom constitute a unique and pervasive form of anti-Black discrimination. Emphasizing that these twenty-first-century cases and controversies are not a new phenomenon but rather a reemergence of colonial-era ideologies and patterns of racially motivated persecution, Boaz focuses each chapter on a particular challenge to Black religious freedom.
