African Traditions in the Study of Religion, Diaspora and Gendered Societies de Ezra Chitando

African Traditions in the Study of Religion, Diaspora and Gendered Societies: Vitality of Indigenous Religions

Autor Ezra Chitando Editat de Afe Adogame
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 feb 2017
The historiography of African religions and religions in Africa presents a remarkable shift from the study of 'Africa as Object' to 'Africa as Subject', thus translating the subject from obscurity into the global community of the academic study of religion. This book presents a unique multidisciplinary exploration of African Traditions in the Study of Religion, Diaspora, and Gendered Societies. The book is structured under two main sections. The first provides insights into the interface between Religion and Society. The second features African Diaspora together with Youth and Gender which have not yet featured prominently in studies on religion in Africa. Contributors drawn from diverse African and global contexts situate current scholarly traditions of the study of African religions within the purview of academic encounter and exchanges with non-African scholars and non-African contexts. African scholars enrich the study of religions from their respective academic and methodological orientations. Jacob Kehinde Olupona stands out as a pioneer in the socio-scientific interpretation of African indigenous religion and religions in Africa and the new African Diaspora. This book honours his immense contribution to an emerging field of study and research.

Recenzii

’By focusing on the role of religion in African societies, African religious expressions in diaspora and the role of African women in the academy, the contributors to this book challenge what the editors portray as a field traditionally dominated by men, many of whom are non-African.This volume offers a methodological challenge to the wider field of Religious Studies and at the same time exemplifies the Africanisation of the study of African religions.’ James L. Cox, University of Edinburgh, UK 'As a multidisciplinary project it succeeds beautifully, with scholarly expertise ranging from sociology to history, theology to anthropology, and gender studies to political science. Yet even with this wide scope, the editors have managed to achieve synergy throughout.' Journal of Religion in Africa
