These women\, in secrecy and subterfuge\, courageously and devotedly continued their practices and worship for centuries and passed down their traditions.  \nConjure informs our lives in ways remarkable and ordinary—from traditional medicines that informed the creation of Vicks VapoRub and the rise of Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Mix\, to the original magic of Disney’s The Little Mermaid (2023)\, and the true origins of the all-American classic blue jean. \nFrom the moment enslaved Africans first arrived on these shores\, conjure was heavily regulated and even outlawed. Now\, Stewart uncovers new contours of American history\, sourcing letters from the enslaved\, dispatches from the lore of Oshun and other African mystics. The Conjuring of America is a love letter to the real magic Black women used\, their herbs\, food\, textiles\, song\, and dance\, used to sow rebellion\, freedom\, and hope. \nJoin us to take part in the magic and celebrate the legacy of America’s founding Black women. Register for free today! \nNot able to attend live? You can access the recording for this event and all Online Author Series events on our website shortly after they conclude. \nAbout the Author: Lindsey Stewart is a Black feminist philosopher and an Associate Professor of philosophy at the University of Memphis. She is the author of The Politics of Black Joy. Her work has been featured in Blavity\, Signs\, Hypatia\, and the British Journal for the History of Philosophy\, and she holds a 2021 Michael Beaney Prize.

Jacquotte Delahaye is the mixed-race daughter of a wealthy tavern owner on the island of Tortuga. Instead of marriage\, Jacquotte dreams of joining the seafarers and smugglers whose tall-masted ships cluster in the turquoise waters around Tortuga. In Haiti she becomes Jacques\, a dockworker\, earning the respect of those around her while hiding her gender. \nJacquotte discovers that secret identities are fairly common in the chaotic world of seafaring\, which is full of outsiders and misfits. As Jacques\, Jacquotte falls in love with Lizzôa d’Erville\, a beautiful courtesan who deals in secrets and sex. While others see their work clothes as a disguise\, Lizzôa’s true self is as a woman. \nFor the next twenty years\, Jacquotte raids the Caribbean\, making enemies and amassing a fortune in stolen gold. When her fellow pirates decide to increase their profits by entering the slave trade\, Jacquotte turns away from piracy and the pursuit of riches. Risking her life in one deadly skirmish after another\, she instead begins to plot a war of liberation. \nDon’t miss out on this exciting discussion! Register now to embark on a seafaring journey of self discovery and reclamation of personal power. \nNot able to attend live?
