Scholars from such fields as ethnography, cultural history, biblical studies, art, music, film, dance, drama and literature explore the interaction between the people known as African Americans and the complex of visions, rhetoric, and ideologies known as the Bible. Filling in an area of African-American studies that has received little attention, they consider how a text constructs a people at the same time as the people construct the text. Among the 63 topics are the role of the Bible and other sacred texts in African-American denominations and sects, Afro-Latinos, the Joseph story as slave narrative, the virtues of brotherhood and sisterhood, and the adventures of a black child in search of her god.
