Early American Women Critics: Performance, Religion, Race Hardcover - 2006
by Gay Gibson Cima
Summary
Early American Women Critics demonstrates that performances of various kinds - religious, political, and cultural - enabled women to enter the human rights debates that roiled the American colonies and young republic. Black and white women staked their claims on American citizenship through disparate performances of spirit possession, patriotism, poetic and theatrical production. They protected themselves within various shields which allowed them to speak openly while keeping the individual basis of their identities invisible. Cima shows that between the First and Second Great Religious Awakenings (1730s 1830s), women from West Africa, Europe, and various corners of the American colonies self-consciously adopted performance strategies that enabled them to critique American culture and establish their own diverse and contradictory claims on the body politic. This book restores the primacy of religious performances - Christian, Yoruban, Bantu, and Muslim - to the study of early American cultural and political histories, revealing that religion and race are inseparable.
First line
The First Great Awakening began with a crisis of belief.
