摘要

摘要：宗教和詹姆斯国王版圣经的使用一直是南方农村黑人地理实践的核心。在这篇文章中，我们认为，虽然KJV被用来证明对土地和人民的统治和殖民化是正当的，但它在黑人南方的农村地区有着持久的存在。我们认为，南方黑人以复杂的方式将KJV作为他们社区内解放和变革的工具。我们以我们作为非裔加洛林人的经历和《圣经》的新译本开始这篇文章。然后，我们将《圣经》的新译本作为一种文学工具进行探索，因为它可以在家庭、学校和教堂中使用，阐明了女性工作在这一过程中的作用。最后，我们在Katherine McKittrick种植园未来概念的框架下，在黑人地理的背景下讨论了KJV和宗教。

Be Ye Transformed: The King James Bible as Black Placemaking in the Rural South

Abstract:Religion and the use of the King James Version of the Bible has been central to Black geographic practices in the rural South. In this essay, we argue that while the KJV has been used to justify domination and colonization of land and people, it has an enduring presence in the rural Black South. We argue that, in complicated ways, Black Southerners have used the KJV as a tool of liberation and transformation within their communities. We begin the essay with our experiences as Afro-Carolinians with the KJV of the Bible. We then explore the KJV of the Bible as a literary tool, due to its accessibility in homes, schools, and churches, elucidating the role of women’s work in the process. Finally, we discuss the KJV and religion within the context of Black geographies framed by Katherine McKittrick’s notion of plantation futures.

期刊介绍： In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
