White Men's Magic: Scripturalization as Slavery
Wimbush, Vincent L. (Professor of Religion and Director of the Institute for Signifying Scriptures, Professor of Religion and Director of the Institute for Signifying Scriptures, Claremont Graduate University)
The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano, or Gustavus Vassa, the African, first published in England in 1789, was one of the earliest English language slave narratives. Characterizing Olaudah Equiano's eighteenth-century narrative of his life as a type of ''scriptural story'' that connects the Bible with identity formation, Vincent L. Wimbush's White Men's Magic probes not only how the Bible and its reading played a crucial role inthe first colonial contacts between black and white persons in the North Atlantic but also the process and meaning of what he terms ''scripturalization.''
