Charles H. Long's 'Significations: Signs, Symbols and Images in the Interpretation of Religion' explores how symbols and meanings operate within religious traditions, with attention to African and African American religious expression.
Long investigates how cultural signs carry layered meanings and how interpretation shapes religious identity and experience.
The book blends historical, anthropological, and theological approaches to analyze how marginalized communities use symbolism to make sense of suffering and hope.
It has influenced scholars interested in religion as culture and in the interpretation of religious symbols across contexts.
Long's work is often cited in studies of syncretism, cultural memory, and the religious imagination.
