Call for Papers
The Legacy of Zora Neale Hurston and the Study of Africana Religions

The Journal of Africana Religions invites brief article manuscripts (approximately 3,500 words) examining the implications of Zora Neale Hurston's writings for scholarship on Africana religions. Although Hurston is more widely remembered as a literary author, she produced a number of influential studies such as Tell My Horse and The Sanctified Church that richly and lucidly portrayed and analyzed Africana religions. As an anthropologist trained in the United States, Hurston devoted incisive attention to the practices and social textures of ritual and power in Haitian Vodou, Black Pentecostalism, and Black folk religion in the US South. The geographic scope of her research also extended beyond the borders of the United States as she sought to understand African-derived religions in the Caribbean at a time when relatively few scholars were producing scholarship on Black religious formation beyond the pale of Christianity.

Hurston's legacy, on the one hand, is resonant with that of other scholars such as Katherine Dunham and Melville Herskovits, who were examining the significance of African-derived religion in the Western hemisphere. On the other hand, her work also parallels that of authors such as Lorenzo Dow Turner whose attention to folk culture continues to inform the research of experts concerned with Black religion. Given her study of Black Pentecostalism, moreover, Hurston's corpus on the whole is unequivocally a compelling and distinctive pillar in the history of scholarship on Africana religions.

We invite authors to examine a range of analytical themes and methodological implications that derive from Hurston's corpus. Among these are the: 
  • significance of gender in scholarship, the politics of meanings about racial Blackness in the study of religion;
  • methodological challenges of ethnographic practices and anthropology as a discipline in the study of Black religious populations;
  • role of literature in scholarly dissemination or scholarly practices broadly; and
  • Hurston's role in promoting the study of African-derived religions.
Because the Journal of Africana Religions is diasporic in scope and aims to promote the study of religion throughout Africa and the Black diaspora, we especially encourage attention to how Hurston's work has influenced or might inform methods of transnational scholarship on Africana religions.

Interested authors should send a brief proposal for their essay to journal@africanareligions.org. For more information, visit www.africanareligions.org.

Completed manuscripts must be submitted by October 1, 2015.

Call for Book Chapters: The Black Social Economy


This is a call for authors to do a chapter on 'The Black Social Economy: Diverse community economies in the United States, Canada, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean.'

We still need authors who can speak to diverse economies among the African diaspora in Europe, Brazil and the Spanish-speaking Caribbean and/or Latin America. We welcome a variety of disciplines but the authors must be engaged in community economies and the social economy of persons of African descent. We want stories about the ways the Black diaspora engages with the social economy and this ranges from informal groups, cooperatives, non-profits and other organizations in the third sector. Ideally the work should draw on contemporary examples. The final draft chapter is due July 2016.

We do need a 300 word abstract of the chapter and 200 word bio of the author by 20 July 2015.  Email the bio and abstract in English to chossein@yorku.ca.
