Introduction: Towards a reading of the Catholic margin in contemporary narratives of slavery -- Toni Morrison's sacramental rememory -- A sacred communion: the Catholic side of possession in the autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman and Two wings to veil my face -- Catholicism and narrative time: transcending the past and the present in stigmata and oxherding tale -- Catholicism and narrative time, continued: divine prescience in Edward P. Jones's The Known World Coda. This book argues that Catholicism informs a major genre of African American literature in ways and with a significance that has gone largely unrecognized. Sacraments of Memory thus proposes a new framework for understanding the revisionist aims of these works, contextualizing the skepticism they exhibit towards historical realism in terms of a Catholic counter-tradition in American literature that has long been associated with superstition and irrationality.
