- Title
Africana Slave Religious Thought and the Philosophy of Education.
- Authors
Haymes, Stephen Nathan
- Abstract
The article looks at how slavery and racism influenced Africana religious thought and culture. The influence of metaphoric concepts and reason upon the framing and categorizing of life situations among the African slave’s religious culture is discussed. The author analyzes the African preoccupation with and the understanding of the human spirit and concludes that this mode of rational reflection is connected to the philosophical/pedagogical concerns of a religious culture, which is inevitably bound within an oppressed society.
