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.
