Analyzing their entangled histories and systems of devotion, Tracey E. Hucks and Dianne M. Stewart articulate how these religions were criminalized during slavery and colonialism yet still demonstrated autonomous modes of expression and self-defense. In Volume I, Obeah, Hucks traces the history of African religious repression in colonial Trinidad through the late nineteenth century. Drawing on sources ranging from colonial records, laws, and legal transcripts to travel diaries, literary fiction, and written correspondence, she documents the persecution and violent penalization of African religious practices encoded under the legal classification of "Obeah." A cult of antiblack fixation emerged as white settlers defined themselves in opposition to Obeah, which they imagined as terrifying African witchcraft. These preoccupations revealed the fears that bound whites to one another. At the same time, persons accused of obeah sought legal vindication and marshaled their own spiritual and medicinal technologies to fortify the cultural heritages, religious identities, and life systems of African-diasporic communities in Trinidad."--Provided by publisher.Religious cultures of African and African diaspora people.Obeah :Africans in the white colonial imaginationObeah (Cult)Trinidad and TobagoTrinidadHistoryReligion and sociologyTrinidad and TobagoTrinidadHistoryReligionsAfrican influencesBlack peopleTrinidad and TobagoTrinidadReligionHistoryCultsLaw and legislationTrinidad and TobagoTrinidadHistoryReligion and lawTrinidad and TobagoTrinidadHistoryPostcolonialismTrinidad and TobagoTrinidadObeah (Cult)History.Religion and sociologyHistory.ReligionsAfrican influences.Black peopleReligionHistory.CultsLaw and legislationHistory.Religion and lawHistory.Postcolonialism299.6/70972983REL000000SOC056000bisacshHucks Tracey E.1965-1156856NcDNcDBOOK9910683340203321Obeah, Orisa, and religious identity in Trinidad3087434UNINA03576nam 22006015 450 991087466300332120250807153316.03-031-63261-310.1007/978-3-031-63261-7(CKB)32775434200041(MiAaPQ)EBC31526164(Au-PeEL)EBL31526164(DE-He213)978-3-031-63261-7(EXLCZ)993277543420004120240712d2024 u| 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrier300 Years of Adam Smith Reception and Influence in Selected European Countries /edited by Jürgen G.

The influence of Smith’s doctrine has made a lasting contribution to the development of a modern understanding of society and the economy and, in particular, the functioning of markets. This is not least because of the breadth of his approach, with overlaps between political economy, social philosophy and ethics. The planned volume builds on the current state of Smith research and also provides new insights into the dissemination of Smith’s ideas in German-speaking countries, but also in Scandinavia and Eastern Europe.The European Heritage in Economics and the Social Sciences,2197-5892 ;27EconomicsHistoryEconomic historyEconomicsHistory of Economic Thought and MethodologyEconomic HistoryPolitical Economy and Economic SystemsEconomicsHistory.Economic history.Economics.History of Economic Thought and Methodology.Economic History.Political Economy and Economic Systems.330.153Backhaus Jürgen G.Chaloupek GüntherFrambach Hans A.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910874663003321300 Years of Adam Smith4234483UNINA
