Osun is a brilliant deity whose imagery and worldwide devotion
demand broad and deep scholarly reflection. Contributors to the
ground-breaking Africa s Ogun, edited by Sandra Barnes (Indiana
University Press, 1997), explored the complex nature of Ogun, the
orisa who transforms life through iron and technology. Osun across
the Waters continues this exploration of Yoruba religion by
documenting Osun religion. Osun presents a dynamic example of the
resilience and renewed importance of traditional Yoruba images in
negotiating spiritual experience, social identity, and political
power in contemporary Africa and the African diaspora.
The 17 contributors to Osun across the Waters delineate the special
dimensions of Osun religion as it appears through multiple
disciplines in multiple cultural contexts. Tracing the extent of
Osun traditions takes us across the waters and back again. Osun
traditions continue to grow and change as they flow and return from
their sources in Africa and the Americas.
