Reviews for Conjuring Moments in African American Literature: Women, Spirit Work, and Other Such Hoodoo
“Martin’s work remedies a gap in academic scholarship that has overlooked the critical role that the conjurer woman has played in literature, and this work seems to elevate her to the status of cultural icon.” (A Year's Work in English Studies, 2015)
