Some Damn Body
Despite her fame as a poet, Lucille Clifton’s practice of spirit writing remains little known and understudied. Clifton’s familial practice of automatic writing and spirit communication spanned decades and encompassed everything from past life regressions to conversations with departed spirits as diverse as Langston Hughes, Beethoven, Billie Holiday, and Jesus. This article uses Clifton’s unpublished spirit writing, recorded in the 1970s and ’80s…
Body and Soul
Some religions of the Black Atlantic have long been noted for their numbers of openly queer practitioners and for the spectacular (and spectacularized) gender expansiveness of their embodied spirits, who “mount” human practitioners across gender lines. The intersection of queerness and Afro-diasporic religions has been taken up by scholars and artists across the diaspora, but Roberto Strongman's Queering Black Atlantic Religions is the first comp…

An Ethics of Discomfort
This essay traces the evolution of Katherine Dunham's relationship with Haiti through archival research and a consideration of her 1969 ethnographic memoir, Island Possessed. It argues that primitivist discourses framing Vodou as an instinctive capacity latent in all people of African origins provided interwar black artists such as Dunham with a tantalizing possibility of Pan-African solidarity through which they could mobilize their desire for c…
Witchcrafts of Color
This essay argues that the anticolonial efforts of Martinican intellectuals like Aimé Césaire and Frantz Fanon often established a strict dichotomy between a violated, abject, and feminized Martinique and a masculine and authoritative France. In this way, they reify and perpetuate a tradition of colonial literature that establishes Martinican women of color, like the island itself, as both sexually available to the colonizer and resigned to explo…
