{"product_id":"9780252094460","title":"Mojo Workin': The Old African American Hoodoo System","description":"In this book, Katrina Hazzard-Donald explores African Americans' experience and practice of the herbal, healing folk belief tradition known as Hoodoo. Working against conventional scholarship, Hazzard-Donald argues that Hoodoo emerged first in three distinct regions she calls \"regional Hoodoo clusters\" and that after the turn of the nineteenth century, Hoodoo took on a national rather than regional profile. The first interdisciplinary examination to incorporate a full glossary of Hoodoo culture, \u003cu\u003eMojo Workin': The Old African American Hoodoo System\u003c\/u\u003e lays out the movement of Hoodoo against a series of watershed changes in the American cultural landscape. Throughout, Hazzard-Donald distinguishes between \"Old tradition Black Belt Hoodoo\" and commercially marketed forms that have been controlled, modified, and often fabricated by outsiders; this study focuses on the hidden system operating almost exclusively among African Americans in the Black spiritual underground.","brand":"University of Illinois Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107110174960,"sku":"9780252094460","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780252094460_p0.jpg?v=1763680018","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780252094460","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
