This book diversifies the fields of digital religion studies and Africana religious studies by considering the nuanced intersections between digital technologies and the religious experiences of African Americans. While Christianity is a continuous marker of religious identity for many African Americans, this digital approach to examining Africana religion in the US uncovers other non-Christian esoteric traditions that have often been marginalized within academia. The book explores the diverse ways that African Americans employ the Internet, social media, human enhancement technologies, and gaming to construct multidimensional modes of religious identities. It also considers the ways that Africana religious practitioners employ digital platforms to both complement and disrupt religious authority. Ultimately, the book establishes Africana religious experiences as viable entry points in the scholarly engagement of religion in the digital age. As such, it will be a key resource for scholars of Religious Studies, Africana Religious and Esoteric Studies, Religion and Culture and Religion and Sociology.
