N1  - Laurie F. Maffly-Kipp is Archer Alexander Distinguished Professor in Humanities at the John C. Danforth Center on Religion and Politics at Washington University in St. Louis
N2  - As early as the 1780s, African Americans told stories that enabled them to survive and even thrive in the midst of unspeakable assault. Tracing previously unexplored narratives from the late eighteenth century to the 1920s, Laurie Maffly-Kipp brings to light an extraordinary trove of sweeping race histories that African Americans wove together out of racial and religious concerns
