"This book is what got me started on a college long love affair with African American religious history. Detailing the major and minor figures and events, as well as overall themes, in the evolution of African American spirituality is no easy task, but Raboteau, a professor at Princeton, does it elegantly and with purpose. I learned so much from this book that I used it as a source for countless papers after reading it during my first year of college. Desite being academic in its scope and relevancy, it really is a readable text and something that is as easy to read for pleasure as for research. I wish I had the brain of Raboteau!"
"Albert J. Raboteau's, Canaan Land will provide both clarity and knowledge of the African-American religious history. He does a wonderful job explaining the foundation, and roots of African-Americans ancestorial religious faith and beliefs."
