520 |a The existing research on Grarnscian theory contains a dual-faceted omission. First, the vast majority of this material discusses Grarnsci’s political theory in general and does not specifically deal with religion or a particular historical situation. Second, the limited research, which examines Grarnsci’s thoughts on religion and applies them to historical situations does not in any instance consider the influence of Christianity on the slave society of antebellum America. Hence, the objective of this study is to address this omission in the literature. It does this by first providing an overview of Grarnsci’s politics ofreligion emphasizing his notion of hegemony-his primary contribution to Marxian thought involving one class employing culture as a tool of domination in exploiting another. It then goes on to discuss the use of religion by Anglo-American planters to facilitate their subaltemation of Africans as slaves whom they forced into lifelong servitude. Research within this framework indicates that, while slaveholders developed a hegemonic belief system, bondspeople responded by creating religious traditions of both accornrnodation and resistance. This applies Grarnscian thought to an analysis of these ideological developments.
