This landmark volume compiled by Jacob K. Olupona and Rowland O.
Abiodun brings readers into the diverse world of Ifa-its discourse,
ways of thinking, and artistic expression as manifested throughout
the Afro-Atlantic. Firmly rooting Ifa within African religious
traditions, the essays consider Ifa and Ifa divination from the
perspectives of philosophy, performance studies, and cultural
studies. They also examine the sacred context, verbal art, and the
interpretation of Ifa texts and philosophy. With essays from the
most respected scholars in the field, the book makes a substantial
contribution toward understanding Ifa and its role in contemporary
Yoruba and diaspora cultures.
