  • “Lindsey Stewart’s remarkable commitment and tireless research, combined with the breadth of her keen insight, pride, and understanding of her subject matter, are only part of what makes The Conjuring of America so powerful. This exploration of our shamefully ignored and dismissed history is a compelling and essential standout. Important and altogether unique, this read informs and transports as it ushers a glorious cast of influential Black women to life.”
    Lucy Anne Hurston, sociologist, niece of Zora Neale Hurston, Speak, So You Can Speak Again
  • “With The Conjuring of America we welcome Lindsey Stewart to the table of hope, for her work is the deep, courage dive into the sea of lost truths. She recovers the critical treasures from the waters in her breathtaking honest and beautifully rendered new work. And we are the better for it.”
    asha bandele, New York Times bestselling co-author of When They Call you a Terrorist and author of Daughter and The Prisoner’s Wife
  • “Lindsey Stewart's arrival on the scene is not only exciting and powerful, but necessary. Black and feminist history is shamefully incomplete; conjure women are vital parts of our foundation and fabric. I love this book. We need this book!  Now more than ever.”
    Patrisse Cullors, co-founder Black Lives Matter and New York Times bestselling author of When They Call You a Terrorist
  • “In The Conjuring of America, Lindsey Stewart offers nothing less than a rethinking of our national culture through the stories of  'conjure women.' When we talk about who and what has made our culture uniquely American, this essential story must be told, and Dr. Stewart does it with wisdom, erudition, and empathy.”
    Jeff Chang, Ford fellow, historian, journalist and music critic, and author of Can’t Stop Won’t Stop, Who We Be, and Water Mirror Echo
