Slave Religion

Slave Religion is a form of African American religious expression constituted by the beliefs, practices, and communal institutions developed by enslaved Africans and their descendants in the Americas that syncretically combined West and Central African religious traditions with appropriated and reinterpreted elements of Christianity to make meaning, sustain community, and contest the conditions of slavery.
