A luminous brotherhood : Afro-Creole Spiritualism in nineteenth-century New Orleans / Emily Suzanne Clark. - 1 online resource
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Afro-Creole Spiritualism in New Orleans -- The creation of the Cercle Harmonique -- The disharmony of New Orleans city life -- Spiritualism and Catholicism -- The spiritual republic and America's destiny -- The spiritual republic in the Atlantic Age of revolutions.
In the midst of a nineteenth-century boom in spiritual experimentation, the Cercle Harmonique, a remarkable group of African-descended men, practiced Spiritualism in heavily Catholic New Orleans. In this first comprehensive history of the Cercle, Emily Suzanne Clark illuminates how highly diverse religious practices wind in significant ways through American life, culture, and history.
