Lessons For Studying Religion In The African Diaspora: Charles H. Long & Ruth Simms Hamilton

Crystal Eddins’ paper is situated directly within sociologist Ruth Hamilton’s propositions about African Diaspora populations as subjects of their own reality. She highlights ways in which 18^th century Africans and African descendants employed their organic social formations, specifically religious ones to organize rebellious antecedents to the Haitian Revolution. Dr. Dodson will serve as Chair of the panel and each presenter is aware of the proposed activities and has agreed to participate.
