Chapter 1Studying Black Religion: Contacts/Exchanges and Continuities/Discontinuities

Noel, James A.

Pages: 1 –14

[It is important at the onset to say something about one of the most important and provocative concepts in Charles H. Long’s thinking— that of materiality. I attempt to elucidate materiality in terms of the way matter is imagined in the next chapter. Indeed, we will be coming at this term from...

Chapter 2The Age of Discovery and the Emergence of the Atlantic World

Noel, James A.

Pages: 15 –35

[In this chapter, I will be constructing a framework for viewing the simultaneity of: (1) Roman Catholic Reform, the Protestant Reformation, and the Counter Reformation in Europe; (2) European global expansion through the Atlantic Ocean; (3) decimation and colonization of indigenous Americans;...

Chapter 3The Imagination of Matter in the Atlantic World’s Political Economy

Noel, James A.

Pages: 37 –55

[The above quotation from Long’s Significations situates the modern “self” within the network of exchanges that constituted the “Atlantic world economy of mercantilism and capitalism.” The network of exchanges constituting the Atlantic World determined how people involved in them would conceive...

Chapter 4Being, Nothingness, and the “Signification of Silence” in African American Religious Consciousness

Noel, James A.

Pages: 57 –75

[In this chapter, I explore the meaning of the category of nothingness in the African American experience as something that occurs through their ontological encounter with Non-Being. I am using Long’s description of silence not as an equivalent of nothingness but as its phenomenological...

Chapter 5Epistemologies Opaque: Conjuring, Conjecture, and the Problematic of Nat Turner’s Biblical Hermeneutic

Noel, James A.

Pages: 77 –96

[I pointed out in chapter two that whites constructed themselves over and against blacks who appeared in the consciousness of the former as the “empirical Other.” In chapter six I discussed Du Bois’s description of how blacks experienced the distinction between their own subjectivity and the...

Chapter 6The Mulatto as Material/Sexual Site of Modernity’s Contacts and Exchanges

Noel, James A.

Pages: 97 –120

[I briefly mentioned the “mulatto” in chapter two in relation to Cheryl Harris’s article “Whiteness as Property.” Both whiteness and blackness are forms of materiality that appear in modernity through the imagination of matter. It is through the imagination that blackness and whiteness assume...

Chapter 7“The Signification of Silence” Revisited: African American Art and Hermeneutics

Noel, James A.

Pages: 121 –147

[In this chapter I argue that African American art is one of the most productive sites for excavating the “archaic” in African American consciousness. It is only in this sense that African American art can function as “text.” Perhaps we should substitute the term “site” instead. “Archaism,”...

Chapter 8The Meaning of the Moan and Significance of the Shout in Black Worship and Culture and Memory and Hope

Noel, James A.

Pages: 149 –170

[In black worship we hear uttered the “language of the sacred” Long wrote of in the above quote taken from Significations. Black worship, of course, has no monopoly on this language of the sacred, but it does have its own way of speaking this language. This language is rooted in the signification...

Chapter 9The Salsa/Jazz/Blues Idiom and Creolization in the Atlantic World

Noel, James A.

Pages: 171 –193

[This chapter seeks to investigate the salsa/jazz/blues idiom as a means of discerning the nature of creolization in the Atlantic World as a feature of modernity. This term—salsa/jazz/blues—is definitely not stated in historical order but indicates the fact that by the time salsa received its...

Chapter 10Conclusion

Noel, James A.

Pages: 195 –200

[Although very few scholars of black religion have heeded his advice, Charles H. Long has been recommended situating the study of black religion within the Atlantic World’s geo-temporal framework for quite some time. In 1983 Winthrop S. Hudson had called for situating the study of black religion...
