Jacob
S
.
Dormán
offers new insights into the rise
of Black Israelite religions in America, faiths
ranging from Judaism to Islam to Rastafarianism,
all of which believe that the ancient Hebrew Isra¬
elites were Black and that contemporary African
Americans are their descendants.
Dormán
traces
the influence of Israelite practices and philoso¬
phies in the Holiness Christianity movement of
the
1
890s and the emergence of the Pentecostal
movement in
1906.
An examination of Black in¬
teractions with white Jews under slavery shows
that the original impetus for Christian Israelite
movements was not a desire to practice Judaism
but rather a studied attempt to recreate the early
Christian church, following the strictures of the
Hebrew Scriptures.
A second wave of Black Israelite synagogues
arose during the Great Migration of African
Americans and West Indians to cities in the North.
One of the most fascinating of the Black Israelite
pioneers was Arnold Josiah Ford, a Barbadian
musician who moved to Harlem, joined Marcus
Garvey s Black Nationalist movement, started
his own synagogue, and led African Americans
to resettle in Ethiopia in
1930.
The effort failed,
but the Black Israelite theology had captured the
imagination of settlers who returned to Jamaica
and transmitted it to Leonard Howell, one of the
founders of Rastafarianism and himself a mem¬
ber of Harlem s religious subculture. After Ford s
resettlement effort, the Black Israelite movement
was carried forward in the U.S. by several Harlem
rabbis, including Wentworth Arthur Matthew,
another West Indian, who creatively combined el¬
ements of Judaism, Pentecostalism, Freemasonry,
the British Anglo-Israelite movement, Afro-
Caribbean faiths, and occult kabbalah.
Drawing on interviews, newspapers, and a
wealth of hitherto untapped archival sources,
Dormán
provides a vivid portrait of Black Israel¬
ites, showing them to be a transnational move¬
ment that fought racism and its erasure of people
of color from European-derived religions.
Chosen People argues for a new way of under¬
standing cultural formation, not in terms of gene¬
alogical metaphors of survivals, or syncretism,
but rather as a polycultural cutting and pasting
from a transnational array of ideas, books, rituals,
and social networks.
