Lindsey Stewart's Conjuring of America traces the hidden history of Black women's spiritual practices, healing traditions, and magical knowledge across four centuries. From African rootwork to contemporary conjure, Stewart reveals how Black women have wielded spiritual power as resistance, survival, and self-determination. The book becomes both historical recovery and celebration, showing how magic has always been a tool for navigating and transforming oppressive systems.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Stewart understands that what gets called "magic" is often just knowledge that powerful people want to suppress. This book reclaims the spiritual practices that helped Black women survive and thrive, proving that conjure was never superstition but a sophisticated system of resistance and healing.
