William C. Olsen, Walter E. A. van Beek, and the contributors to
this volume seek to understand how Africans have confronted evil
around them. Grouped around notions of evil as a cognitive or
experiential problem, evil as malevolent process, and evil as an
inversion of justice, these essays investigate what can be accepted
and what must be condemned in order to evaluate being and morality
in African cultural and social contexts. These studies of evil
entanglements take local and national histories and identities into
account, including state politics and civil war, religious
practices, Islam, gender, and modernity.
