Fascinating and Little Known,

This review is from: Black Zion: African American Religious Encounters with Judaism (Religion in America) (Paperback)
The topic seemed so off-the-beaten-track to be interesting for that reason alone. The book certainly lived up to the promise by providing numerous perspectives of the interaction between Jews and people of African descent in the Americas. Especially fascinating was when the two cultures meshed in the same people: Black Jews. Conceived as a religious take on Black Jewishness, the book wisely steers clear of the political controversies discussed in many books already to focus on the sacred rather than the profane.Sometimes the writing could be ponderous and overly academic, but by and large intriguing, informative, and worthwhile. |
