Feminist philosopher, Lindsey Stewart, tells the stories of Negro Mammies of slavery; the Voodoo Queens and Blues Women of Reconstruction; and the Granny Midwives and textile weavers of the Jim Crow era. These women, in secrecy and subterfuge, courageously and devotedly continued their practices and worship for centuries and passed down their traditions. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEmerging first in the American South during slavery, these women were thrust into the heart of national conflicts over generations of African American life. They combined ancestral magic and hyperlocal resources to respond to Black struggles in real time, forging a secret well of health and power hidden to their oppressors. As a result, conjure informs our lives in ways remarkable and ordinary—from traditional medicines that informed the creation of Vicks VapoRub and the rise of Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Mix, to the original magic of Disney’s The Little Mermaid (2023), and the true origins of the all-American classic blue jean.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFrom the moment enslaved Africans first arrived on these shores, conjure was heavily regulated and even outlawed. Now, Stewart uncovers new contours of American history, sourcing letters from the enslaved, dispatches from the lore of Oshun and other African mystics. The Conjuring of America is a love letter to the real magic Black women used, their magic Black women, their herbs, food, textiles, song, and dance, used to sow rebellion, freedom, and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grassrootz Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45729226948781,"sku":"9781538769508","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0280\/9243\/2481\/files\/9781538769508.jpg?v=1770832018"},{"product_id":"sticks-stones-roots-bones-hoodoo-mojo-conjuring-with-herbs","title":"Sticks, Stones, Roots \u0026 Bones: Hoodoo, Mojo \u0026 Conjuring with Herbs","description":"\u003cp\u003e2005 COVR Award Winner\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoodoo is an eclectic blend of African traditions, Native American herbalism, Judeo-Christian ritual, and magical healing.

With the increasing commodification of African American and African Diasporic traditions, books about our practices that are simple, direct, and useful seem few and far between. Hoodoo Sen Moise manages to balance a solid delivery on the practice of Conjure with just enough theory to create a foundation to do this spiritual work—which is not, as he also reminds us, spiritual easy—and to continue the work given to us by our ancestors to heal each other and the world we share.\"—Mambo Chita Tann, author of Haitian Vodou\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eConjure, also known as Hoodoo or Rootwork, is an old and powerful system of North American folk magic.
