Evaluating Indigenous African Tradition for Cultural Reconstruction
and Mind Decolonization is edited by Oluwole O Durodolu, and is an
insightful book that challenges the derogatory portrayal of African
Traditional Religion (ATR) and highlights the need for cultural
reconstruction and mind decolonization. The book explores the
derogatory descriptions that have been used to describe ATR and
argues that subjecting religion to logical inquiry diminishes the
essence of worship and promotes disbelief. The book examines the
relevance of indigenous African tradition to cultural
reconstruction and evaluates the place of African culture in the
global context. The author argues that upholding the general
principle of African Traditional belief, which upholds communalism
and morality, can address problems such as corruption, poverty, and
unemployment in the African continent. This book is an essential
resource for academics, students, researchers, and anyone
interested in understanding the relevance of African Traditional
Religion in contemporary times and the need for cultural
reconstruction and mind decolonization for the betterment of the
African continent and the world at large.
