Stories of Rootworkers & Hoodoo in the Mid-South
Author: Tony Kail
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1439668272
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
Separate fact from fiction in this history of African healers, spiritualists, and conjurers in the mid-southern United States. Men and women who carried the mantle of African healing and spirituality in the Mid-South were frequently accused and attacked for their misunderstood culture. The same healers and spiritual workers feared by outsiders were embraced and revered by families who survived because of their presence. From Tennessee to Mississippi, ancient formulas and potions were integral parts of the African American community. Follow author Tony Kail as he takes us down the back roads of rural counties, where healers formulated miracles in mojo bags, and into the cities, where conjurers spoke to the spirits of the dead. “If true mystery and fascinating cultures move you, you'll be thunderstruck by this book . . . . Vast numbers of Africans were brought to this region in chains from their native lands, moved cross country from the Atlantic coast, and inland from Jamaica, Haiti, and the Caribbean. They brought with them their religious and faith healing practices. Tony Kail, cultural anthropologist and ethnographer, writer and lecturer, brings his nearly three decades of study of ancient faith healing (hoodoo) and herbal beliefs to bear in this remarkable work.” —Decatur Daily

Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
An unforgettable story of a young woman who might be falling for a match made in heaven from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author. With her beloved mother gone, her twin sister about to be married, and no hint of Mr. Right on the horizon, Josie Dupré is lonesome. Luckily, she has her booming New Orleans catering business to keep her busy, and her fluffy white dog, Rosie, to keep her company . . . until an obnoxious Boxer brazenly captures Rosie’s undying devotion. Even worse, the budding romance puts Josie in close proximity to the dog’s owner—sexy, love ’em and leave ’em Cajun playboy, Paul Brouillette. Paul’s all for l’amour, but ever since he came into Josie’s life, strange things have been happening. She hears music that isn’t there, and she smells her mother’s favorite cologne in an empty room. Maybe her mom’s trying to send her a message . . . something about finding love where you least expect it . . . and listening to your heart. Praise for Fern Michaels “Prose so natural that it seems you are witnessing a story rather than reading about it.”—Los Angeles Sunday Times “Michaels’ Danielle Steel-like fun read has more plot twists than a soap opera, and will keep readers on tenterhooks for the next in the series.”—Booklist “Michaels just keeps getting better and better with each book . . . She never disappoints.”—RT Book Reviews

The Black Urban Community
Author: G. Tate
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1349735728
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 489
Book Description
This book explores the many facets of black urban life from its genesis in the 18th century to the present time. With some historical background, the volume is primarily a contemporary critique, focusing on the major themes which have arisen and the challenges the confront African Americans as they create communities: political economy, religion and spirituality, health care, education, protest, and popular culture. The essays all examine the interplay between culture and politics, and the ways in which forms of cultural expression and political participation have changed over the past century to serve the needs of the black urban community. The collection closes with analysis of current struggles these communities face - joblessness, political discontent, frustrations with health care and urban schools - and the ways in which communities are responding to these challenges.
