Editing Mojo (African-American culture) (section)

=== Semantic change of the word ===
Beginning in the twentieth century, the word mojo underwent semantic change in American culture in movies and songs and came to refer to sexuality and virility. Musicians use the word 'mojo' outside of its meaning within African-American culture and use the word out of its cultural context. Mojo has also come to mean motivation in general. In the [[Gullah|Gullah community]], the word mojo refers to magic and a conjure bag.<ref name="The University of California"/><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Young |first1=James |title=Art, Authenticity and Appropriation |journal=Frontiers of Philosophy in China |date=2006 |volume=1 |issue=3 |page=471 |doi=10.1007/s11466-006-0019-2 |jstor=30209982 |s2cid=144400385 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/30209982 |access-date=22 June 2023}}</ref>
