Recenzii
Contributes importantly to the study of African and other Indigenous religions.
Afe Adogame's highly readable book has given great meaning to the existence of a small group in a culturally diverse milieu. By paying crucial attention to the complexities of the Oza people's historical, cultural and religious imaginations over the Longue Duree, the author has used an interpretive framework that discusses the present reality of the Oza people in light of their past experiences. This book will for a long time remain a contemporary benchmark for the reconstruction of the story of the Oza people.
This book offers a rich, in-depth account of the religious culture and worldview of the Oza people in Nigeria and their connections to all spheres of life. Mapping religious change from the 19th - early 21st century, Afe Adogame demonstrates how indigenous religions are crucial for understanding not only the past, but also African futures.
Afe Adogame's important and timely book provides an insightful and rich contribution to the indigenous religious tradition of Africa. Drawing on substantial ethnographic archival materials, and analyzed through multidisciplinary approaches, Adogame renews conversations on a whole array of phenomena, including cosmology, mythology, kingship, rites of passage, ritualism and gender dynamics, in ways that reinvigorate modern scholarship in African religious traditions. The work also advances current scholarship on indigeneity and demonstrates valuable paths on how best to conduct deep research on the subject.
