Based on religious ethnography, in-depth interviews and archival
data, Indigeneity in African Religions explores the historical
origins, worldviews, cosmologies, ritual symbolism and praxis of
the indigenous Oza people in South West Nigeria. The author's
locationality and positionality plugs the book within decolonizing
knowledges and indigeneity discourses, thus unpacking the
complexity of "indigeneity" and contributing to its conceptual
understanding within socioreligious change in contemporary Africa.
The future of Oza indigeneity in the face of modernity is
illuminated against the backlash of encounters, contestations with
multiple hegemonies, transmissions of Christianity and Islam and
indigenous (re)appropriations. Thus, any theorizations of such
encounters must be cognizant of instantiations of indigeneity
politics and identity, culture, tradition and power dynamics.
Through decolonizing burdens of history, memory and method, Afe
Adogame demonstrates a framework of understanding Oza indigenous
religious,sociocultural and political imaginaries.
