UNDIVIDED with Simran Jeet Singh

UNDIVIDED follows scholar and writer Simran Jeet Singh on a cross-country tour of the United States, uncovering stories of exclusion, resilience, and belonging among the country's diverse religious communities.

At the AAR Annual Conference, we will screen the episode on Gullah Geechee Stories. This episode explores several questions, including: How did African American Christian practices and traditional African spirituality combine to create Gullah Geechee culture in the South? How did the attempted uprising led by Christian preacher Denmark Vesey and conjurer Gullah Jack Pritchard exemplify collaboration among diverse religious actors in the abolitionist movement? And how are young hoodoo practitioners today navigating their relationship with Christian identity?
