- Title
COMMUNITY WELL-BEING AND THE CRIMINALIZATION OF MAGICO-RELIGIOUS WORKERS IN HARLEM, NEW YORK, DURING THE 1920s.
- Authors
Wilson, Jamie
- Abstract
The article reports on a campaign against magico-religious workers to remove community decision-making from Harlem residents in New York City. The campaign demonstrated that daily local decisions and relationships related to wellness throughout the community were mediated by city, state, and national organizations. The criminalization of magico-religious workers in Harlem ultimately failed but not without the harassment, incarceration, and elimination of many of those practitioners.
