The artistic and religious traditions of Africa constitute a
primary example of the intelletual and cultural vitality of this
vast and fascinating continent. Art plays a vital role - especially
when oral traditions dominate - in expressing and communicating
ideas about the relationships between the human, spiritual and
natural worlds. However, despite the ritual and symbolic
significance of many artistic works, the interactive and
interdependent relationship between art and religion in the African
context remains understudied and misunderstood. This book draws on
the methodologies of several disciplines to provide a greater
understanding of the philosophical and reigious aspects of artistic
works and to challenge Western perceptions of what is 'important'.
Case studies and examples reflect the geographical, material and
gendered diversity of Africa's visual and performing arts and
highlight the changes imposed by Christianity, Islam and the newer
religious movements in post-colonial Africa. Rosalind I.J. Hackett
is Professor of Religious Studies, University of Tennessee,
Knoxville.
