Description: Shamanism, Racism, And Hip-Hop Culture : Essays On White Supremacy And Black Subversion, Hardcover by Perkinson, James W., ISBN 1403967865, ISBN-13 9781403967862, Brand New, Free shipping in the US In a series of eight loosely connected essays, Perkinson (philosophy and religious studies, Marygrove College) seeks to turn the categories imposed by Western Christianity on subordinate others back onto itself and to explore the shamanistic practices ("diagnosis of dis-ease, spirit-travel to other times and places to recover lost energies and vitalities, and mastery of oppressive forces/spirits") of African Americans as a response to and often subversion of the cultural practices of white supremacy. In the essays he considers Christian colonialism and neo-colonialism as "the most ruthless realization of sorcery in history" and hip-hop as merely the latest form of inverting oppression imposed from without.
