It evaluates how filmmakers employ Voodoo aesthetics to reenact black women's spirituality on screen by engaging themes of body politics, expressions of sexuality, agency, self-determination, and cultural appropriation. 410 0$aBlack Diasporic Worlds: Origins and Evolutions from New World Slaving 606 $aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects$zUnited States 606 $aFeminist criticism$zUnited States 606 $aReligion in motion pictures 606 $aMotion pictures$xReligious aspects 606 $aFeminism and motion pictures 606 $aAfrican Americans and mass media 606 $aMotion pictures$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aVodou in motion pictures 615 0$aMotion pictures$xSocial aspects 615 0$aFeminist criticism 615 0$aReligion in motion pictures. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aFeminism and motion pictures. 615 0$aAfrican Americans and mass media. 615 0$aMotion pictures$xHistory. 615 0$aVodou in motion pictures. 676 $a791.43/682 700 $aMartin$b Kameelah L.$f1978-$01507489 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798775703321 996 $aEnvisioning Black feminist voodoo aesthetics$93738278 997 $aUNINA
