Landry."The editors of this volume are early in their careers but are making clear and valuable contributions to the field. They are rising stars in a field where it is difficult to make a mark, and they are generous in their inclusion of precariously-positioned scholars and doctoral candidates in this work. - As religious systems, Vodun, Vodu, and Vodou share an open adaptability which encourages creativity, experimentation, and integration. This adaptability allows the conversation in this collection to move beyond "Africanness" and "European influences" to instead examine how political economies, histories, ritual practices, and migrations produce and reproduce the spirits and the values and practices that surround them. - The collection will appeal to scholars and students of anthropology, sociology, Atlantic and diasporic history, African studies, Caribbean studies, anthropology of religion, and global studies. While there are few courses which focus particularly on Vodun and Vodou throughout an entire semester, each chapter has been written to appeal to course instructors and to upper-level undergraduates for inclusion in course packets. For this reason, the collection would also appeal to those with a general interest in the topic"--.

When the Saints Go Marchin' In 13. Wiley and the Hairy Man 14. The Coming of NightThis book is a combination of traditional songs and stories of African and African-American heritage. Each is rendered in full color in a variety of art styles. The unifying bold black outline is off set by pastels, illustrations that look like they could be on a cross stitch, and drawings right out of a graphic novel. There are many stories that could have been chosen but they went with a version of the tortoise and the hare, a classic novel. There is an African story about the daughter of the sun and the moon falling in love with a human. Br'er rabbit of course make an appearance. This anthology ensures that even if the oral tradition halts, these stories will still be there for our future generations. The stories are occasionally unmistakably black, like that of John Henry, a mythical folk hero who could build a railway on his own in a day. Often times they are animal stories or of gods. Any child could appreciate these stories. They all have a clear and heavy message about hard work and morality.

"This publication presents Betye Saar's sketchbooks--which she has kept during her entire career--for the first time and offers insights into the artist's creative process. A child of the Great Depression and one of the only African American students in her UCLA art program, Betye Saar has, over the course of more than six decades, made work that exposes stereotypes and injustices based on race and gender. From early prints and watercolors to Joseph Cornell-inspired assemblages and full-scale sculptural tableaux, her work has inspired generations of artists. This ingeniously designed publication plays off the format of Saar's original sketchbooks. Made throughout her extraordinary career, Saar's sketches are an integral part of her creative process and offer a greater understanding of the themes woven into her finished works, which are also featured in the book. Saar's sources and influences range from Simon Rodia's Watts Towers and Haitian Vodou fetishes to Australian Aboriginal paintings, Native American leatherwork, and African American history, literature, and music. An original, intimate, and valuable resource for Saar's many fans, this book will also educate future generations about Saar's significant contributions to American art. Published with the Los Angeles County Museum of Art"--Includes bibliographical references.

Includes bibliographical references (page 163).Foreword / by Andrea Barnwell Brownlee -- Roots, rattles & bones / by Mark Sloan -- Tales of the conjure woman / by Renée Stout -- Interview: Dr. O and Fatima Mayfield -- The Carolina twins / by Kevin Young -- Glossary / by Dr. O and Fatima Mayfield.Reňe Stout's work explores the contours of the African American experience and the existence of an underground system of African-derived folk beliefs as transmitted from slavery to the present. This system, known variously as Hoodoo or conjuring, has its origins in herbal medicine, root work, and a belief in the spiritual attributes of plants and animals. For many years, the artist has used the alter ego Fatima Mayfield, a fictitious herbalist-fortune teller, as a vehicle to role-play and confront such issues as romantic relationships, social ills, or financial woes in a way that is open, creative, and humorous. Tales of the Conjure Woman offers a peek into a fascinating world ruled by superstition and ancestral wisdom. Fatima Mayfield offers her best advice and works in her roots. Reňe Stout is an able guide, but she only leaves a trail. Her role is to awaken us to the unseen forces at work all around us - to heighten our senses. Through her art we are presented a prism that enables us to view a particular aspect of the rich traditions and cultural practices of African America.

These entries cover both her works and the prevalent themes of her writing, including colonialism, slavery, superstition, adaptation, dreams and coming of age.
