| Summary: | The introduction to Chosen People prepares readers for the thoughtful and nuanced study of Black Israelite religion that follows. Dorman begins narrowly, with a discussion of the terms that comprise the parameters of the book. He explains that his use of “Black Israelite” denotes the racial identity ascribed to the ancient Israelites by the adherents of these religions, not the racial identity of the adherents themselves. This is of particular importance in a book that demonstrates that peoples from a variety of racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds pursued, and continue to pursue, Black Israelite faiths. |
