“The Gambians ascertained in Christian ritual and deity a process of soul harvesting and soul hunger that coincided with the bodies Europeans had also come to claim and transport. If we accept the conclusion of Europeans as soul and body harvesters, then we have to wonder how Europeans might have used, commodified, and ingested the very African souls that they consistently claimed did not exist.”

i think woodard’s writing is phenomenal. kind of surprised that everyone i’ve ever seen recommend this book has never touched on the extensive concluding section where woodard examines the role of black (homo)sexuality in the civil rights movement
