Transcripts of the Sacred in Nigeria explores how the sacred plays
itself out in contemporary Africa. It offers a creative analysis of
the logics and dynamics of the sacred (understood as the
constellation of im/possibility available to a given community) in
religion, politics, epistemology, economic development, and
reactionary violence. Using the tools of philosophy, postcolonial
criticism, political theory, African studies, religious studies,
and cultural studies, Wariboko reveals the intricate connections
between the sacred and the existential conditions that characterize
disorder, terror, trauma, despair, and hope in the postcolonial
Africa. The sacred, Wariboko argues, is not about religion or
divinity but the set of possibilities opened to a people or denied
them, the sum total of possibilities conceivable given their level
of social, technological, and economic development. These
possibilities profoundly speak to the present political moment in
sub-Saharan Africa.
