The Bible and its tales were received and interpreted by Americans in general and African Americans in particular to understand and justify their respective journeys from Europe and Africa to the New World. Whites used the biblical tales to explain and justify their status as 'God's Chosen People' in the 'American Promised Land.' Conversely, blacks appropriated the biblical tales to give meaning to certain founding processes like the middle passage, slavery, emancipation, and... the Civil Rights Movement. The present paper does not concern itself with broader questions about the bible. It looks rather, through focusing on key processes in the racial and cultural history of the African Americans from slavery time to the Civil Movement, at how the bible and its tales were appropriated and used either to defend or debunk a world view. In doing so, this paper argues that the bible and its tales have the meanings and effects they had because of particular readers and interpretive communities. Historical circumstances, cultural factors, intra and inter-racial political agendas determined and defined the ways whites and blacks used the biblical tales in order to assign meaning and significance. As a consequence, the bible and its tales were/are not different from secular or worldly texts in their connection with social change and individual or group experiences. |
