Religious Cultures of African and African Diaspora People

Overview

This series features the rich historical, cultural, political and philosophical traditions of African-descended people that bear upon the interdisciplinary study of religion. It invites submissions that reflect innovative engagement with the fields of African, African Atlantic, African diaspora and/or African American religious studies, as well as other complementary fields and disciplinary domains. Of special interest are projects that complicate the notions of "black religion," "African religion," and "African diaspora religion" by producing new knowledge about understudied phenomena, identities, institutions and epistemic expressions of African-descended people across time and space. The series is designed to focus on latent, and often ignored, landscapes of religious knowledge, formation and practice across diverse contexts and human conditions. Thus, it solicits a wide range of manuscripts aimed at broadening the scholarly resources that are retrieved to critically examine African and African diaspora religious cultures.
