Reviews
'This a significant collection, which engages broad and significant issues regarding religion and religious practices. The editors are to be commended for bringing this number and variety of authors together around a subject still in need of examination.' - Jualynne E. Dodson, Professor, Department of Sociology and the Graduate Program in African American & African Studies, Michigan State University, USA
'This is welcome introduction to current research and critical analysis of the religious traditions in Africa and the African diaspora. The contributors note the historic, philosophical, socio-cultural, moral, and legal implications of religions rooted in African realities and their rich and varied groundings in the diaspora. This book will be a valuable tool for many, especially students of the new African diaspora who have to welcome and appreciate learning and 'singing [the divine message and song] in a strange land.' - Elias Kifon Bongmba, Harry and Hazel Chair in Christian Theology, Professor of Religion, and President of the African Association for the Study of Religion, Rice University, USA
