The Conjuring of America

"In The Conjuring of America, Lindsey Stewart offers nothing less than a rethinking of our national culture through the stories of 'conjure women.' When we talk about who and what has made our culture uniquely American, this essential story must be told, and Dr. Stewart does it with wisdom, erudition, and empathy."-- Jeff Chang, Ford fellow, historian, journalist and music critic, and author of Can't Stop Won't Stop, Who We Be, and Water Mirror Echo

"With The Conjuring of America we welcome Lindsey Stewart to the table of hope, for her work is the deep, courage dive into the sea of lost truths. She recovers the critical treasures from the waters in her breathtaking honest and beautifully rendered new work. And we are the better for it."-- asha bandele, New York Times bestselling co-author of When They Call you a Terrorist and author of Daughter and The Prisoner's Wife
