Spirit Deep presents a timely intervention into Black women's figurative and literal travel and literature focusing on the intersection between Black women's mobility/subjectivity and their spirituality/epistemology. --Jami Carlacio, Yale University The literal and literary 'crossings and connections' Brooks cites align perfectly with the fluid line between sacred and secular that characterizes this study and its contents. Spirit Deep further considers the contemporary ways in which the same enduring issues of power raised by nineteenth-century women on the move continue to haunt African Americans' movements in the present. --Kimberly Rae Connor, University of San Francisco, author of Imagining Grace: Liberating Theologies in the Slave Narrative Tradition
