It also highlighted how some traditions such as Béninois Vodun, Candomblé, Santería, and oriṣa worship in parts of Nigeria have successfully managed to combat state policing and prejudice to gain official recognition and legal protection. However, this article analyzes the way even the legal and conceptual success of Africana religions in the modern world places them in a Catch-22. Drawing attention to the fundamental differences between modern conceptions and assumptions of what constitutes “religion,” the article traces the history of how modern political and legal structures either exclude and oppress Africana traditions or exert subtle pressure on them to conform to conceptions of “religion” that are more intelligible and acceptable to their largely Western-based frameworks.","PeriodicalId":41877,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Africana Religions","volume":"10 1","pages":"100 - 128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47769433","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In chapter 6, Joseph examines Benjamin Mays’s Black theology, which came to focus on democracy—namely, the democratization of American society and the Christianization of American culture (241–42, 264–65, 270–74). In chapter 6, Joseph builds on his claims in previous chapters that liberation and emancipation are connected to democracy. The reader must ask if this is truly the case. Is democracy the best form of government? What are the risks and fragility of democracy that threaten the lives of Black people? In the United States, Blacks have increased their legislative representation but are plagued by having less legislative influence relative to other groups. Blacks may be facing the dreaded predicament of a “persistent minority” that can never win or carry the day in those matters that concern and interest them the most. They are not alone in facing this predicament. There is uneven political participation and engagement of minority groups generally in American society. According to Joseph, “[Mays] envisioned that the United States could be both ‘a truly democratic’ nation-state and a ‘truly Christian’ society.” In this “truly Christian society,” what is the status of persons who are not Christian? These and other critical questions must be considered by Celucien Joseph and like-minded Black theologians.","PeriodicalId":41877,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Africana Religions","volume":"10 1","pages":"142 - 145"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48073619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The colonial government charged him with sedition, claiming that his actions had led to revolts. While evidence in the king's court focused on Butler's supposedly seditious rhetoric, in the court of elite public opinion and in popular and official speech and writing Butler was repeatedly portrayed as a disabled madman, an unreasonable religious fanatic. Colonial regimes and their dependents in the Caribbean have used a racializing discourse of mental and physical disability purportedly caused by African superstition or fanaticism to contain the social formation of the colonized, including uprisings but also general community-building outside of colonial control. In this article, I use the history of such regulation to better understand the government crackdown on Butler's activism as well as his critique of colonialism and British sovereignty.","PeriodicalId":41877,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Africana Religions","volume":"9 1","pages":"203 - 226"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48173257","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Language has also been weaponized within colonial domination and religious subjugation because of how religious and linguistic practices intersect. This article explores linguistic appropriation as part of the symbolic and material(ized) violence that represses African-matrix religions. Focusing on Salvador, Brazil, I analyze cases of linguistic-spiritual appropriation wherein commercial industries and evangelical Christians adopt Nagô/Yoruba expressions derived from African-matrix liturgical registers and reshape them to the detriment of their source communities. This investigation highlights how kindred ideological processes, like evangelicalism and the national projects of mestiçagem and democracia racial, become entextualized and reconstituted through discursive processes. It demonstrates the paradox of socially and politically dominant groups co-opting, commodifying, and capitalizing on the very ritual practices and institutions that they restrict, malign, and criminalize.","PeriodicalId":41877,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Africana Religions","volume":"9 1","pages":"165 - 202"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46977548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It formed part of a wider discourse prevalent at the time that linked folk religions to hysteria and insanity. In Jamaica, this association contributed to social control as religious leaders, such as the prominent Revivalist Alexander Bedward, who were outspoken in challenging the socio-racial status quo, could be incarcerated in an asylum. Furthermore, it enabled the state to turn the populace away from African-derived religions and spiritual practices in order to impose cultural hegemony based on British bourgeois values. This article examines how the writings of ethnographers in the late postemancipation era reflected, reinforced, and occasionally challenged a correlation between mental illness and African-Jamaican folk religions.","PeriodicalId":41877,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Africana Religions","volume":"9 1","pages":"227 - 249"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2021-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45185448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
