This forum offers “Black metaphysical religion” as an analytical historical frame to bring into view the widespread and varied occult interests and mystical orientations of Black communities in the twentieth century.
This forum initiates a conversation on the meaning and consequences of death across societies and time periods, drawing together scholars of state and society to explore the limits and possibilities of burial practices, mourning, and commemoration of the dead in cases where migration and distance have played a significant role, in colonial contexts, and in rapidly shifting sociocultural landscapes.
This forum explores the white American ritual of Black death. It also ruminates on how scholars of religion reckon with antiblackness as white religion.
