- 書目註：This book situates the study of Black Religion within the modern temporal and historical structures whose geographical contours are the Atlantic World. It describes how black people and Black Religion made a phenomenological appearance in modernity simultaneously and were signified in the identity formation of whites and their religion. James A. Noelaccounts for these new identity formations, religious-social practices, and their accompanying epistemological orientations by describing thenon-reciprocal contacts and exchanges from which ensued new modes of materiality and imagining matter.
