Page, Jr. assemble twenty groundbreaking essays that provide a rationale and parameters for Africana Esoteric Studies (AES): a new trans-disciplinary enterprise focused on the investigation of esoteric lore and practices in Africa and the African Diaspora. The goals of this new field ? while akin to those of Religious Studies, Africana Studies, and Western Esoteric Studies ? are focused on the impulses that give rise to Africana Esoteric Traditions (AETs) and the ways in which they can be understood as loci where issues such as race, ethnicity, and identity are engaged; and in which identity, embodiment, resistance, and meaning are negotiated. 410 0$aAries book series ;$vVolume 19. 606 $aOccultism$zUnited States 606 $aAfrican Americans$xReligion 607 $aUnited States$xReligion 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aOccultism 615 0$aAfrican Americans$xReligion. 676 $a200.89/96073 702 $aFinley$b Stephen C. 702 $aGuillory$b Margarita Simon 702 $aPage$b Hugh R. 702 $aBailey$b Julius H. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910467150203321 996 $aEsotericism in African American religious experience$92463498 997 $aUNINA
