Abstract
(excerpt)
Princeton historian Albert J. Raboteau has had a long and distinguished career as a historian of African American religion. His pioneering 1978 study, Slave Religion: The “Invisible Institution” in the American South, generated entirely new historiographical horizons and is one of those rare books that, fully 40 years after publication, remains a must read for graduate students in a variety of related fields. Raboteau retired in 2013 and his latest book, American Prophets: Seven Religious Radicals & Their Struggle for Social and Political Justice, is intentionally crafted in a somewhat different register.
