Joseph Smith's Golden Plates
i love the world of nineteenth-century American religion, specifically what historian Jon Butler termed “the antebellum spiritual hothouse.”1 Since my introduction to American religious history in graduate school, the creativity, flexibility, occultism, revivalism, utopianism, boundary crossing, and (at times) downright oddity of the era has fascinated me. During that time, people were figuring out their ideas of who and what counted as Americans…

"Jesuit Missionaries in Early-Twentieth-Century Alaska, Colonialism, and Categories of "Superstition
This article unpacks Jesuit assessments of Indigenous Alaskan religious practices and does so through a focus on how Jesuit missionaries wrote about "superstition" and, especially, "medicine men" or "shamans." Through a close reading of the Jesuits' mission records, we can see the Jesuit, missionary, colonizing lens through which they viewed Indigenous Alaskan communities and their cultures. In particular, the "shamans" were of great interest to …

Academic Publishing for Graduate Students
Finding work following a graduate degree is perhaps one of the more pressing concerns facing any graduate student in the humanities. Not only have academic job openings decreased while job candidates have increased, but the competitive nature of these pursuits have significantly increased over the years, requiring more and more work from graduate students. In this article Dr. Emily Clark, who led a workshop at the 2019 meeting of the AAR in San D…

The Magic of Comparison
Judith Weisenfeld's New World A-Coming pushes the field to rethink its approach to religion and race. To achieve this, she centralizes groups typically relegated to the margins of African American religions, tracks those groups thematically rather than chronologically, and offers the field the concept of “religio-racial” identities
To Battle for Human Rights”
From 1858 to 1877 a group of Afro-Creole men in New Orleans practiced American Spiritualism and received messages from the spirit world. The spirits of the dead advised the Cercle Harmonique, as they called themselves, on issues of theology and politics. Though the Spiritualism practiced by the Cercle Harmonique was similar to that of white, northern Protestants, the practice of the Afro-Creoles was a distinctively African American religion. One …

When Is a Cloister Not a Cloister? Comparing Women and Religion in the Colonies of France and Spain
Luminous Brotherhood
In the midst of a nineteenth-century boom in spiritual experimentation, the Cercle Harmonique, a remarkable group of African-descended men, practiced Spiritualism in heavily Catholic New Orleans from just before the Civil War to the end of Reconstruction. In this first comprehensive history of the Cercle, Emily Suzanne Clark illuminates how highly diverse religious practices wind in significant ways through American life, culture, and history. Cl…
The Secular Spectacle
Black Catholicism
This roundtable features six scholarly assessments of the historical and theoretical challenges that emerge when we consider the participation of African and African-descended peoples in the Catholic tradition. The subject of Black Catholicism is garnering new attention from researchers for several reasons. Although the presence of Christianity in West-Central Africa is usually associated with European conquest and colonialism, it is instructive …
Noble Drew Ali's “Clean and Pure Nation”
In the 1920s, the theology, racial history, and healing ways of the Moorish Science Temple of America mediated racial uplift and contemporary health concerns. In 1927, Moorish Science Temple founder Noble Drew Ali created the Moorish Manufacturing Corporation to market his line of healing teas, tonics, and oils. The historiography of the Moorish Science Temple often overlooks these products, but when put in relation with Ali's concept of Moorish …
The Animal” and “The Feminist”
Re-Reading Horror Stories
The central issues raised in much of feminist literary theory's early scholarship remain prescient: how does narrative engage with the social-historical? In what ways does it codify existing structures? How does it resist them? Whose stories are not being told, or read? In this article I use Doris Lessing's novel The Fifth Child (1988) as a text with which to begin to address the above questions by reading with attention to the mother story but a…
Of Catholics, Commies, and the Anti-Christ
This article explores the use of religion in three different Christian Cold War era comic books, with particular focus upon their reflection of the social borders reconstruction of American identity. Two of the comics are dramatic what-if scenarios of communist takeovers of the United States printed by Catholic educators. The third comic is an anti-Catholic tract linking the Vatican to the communist party. Engaging the relationship between Cathol…

Voodoo Queen: The Spirited Lives of Marie Laveau is the first study of the Laveaus, mother and daughter of the same name. Both were legendary leaders of religious and spiritual traditions many still label as evil. The Laveaus were free women of color and prominent French-speaking Catholic …
