(Jacob Kẹhinde), 1951- African Religions : A Very Short Introduction Jacob K Olupona 1st New York Oxford University Press 2014 xxiv, 152 Pages 17X11 cm PB Include Illustrations and Index What are African religions? African Religions: A Very Short Introduction answers this question by examining primarily indigenous religious traditions on the African continent, as well as exploring Christianity and Islam. It focuses on the diversity of ethnic groups, languages, cultures, and worldviews, emphasizing the continent's regional diversity. Olupona examines a wide range of African religious traditions on their own terms and in their social, cultural, and political contexts. For example, the book moves beyond ethnographic descriptions and interpretations of core beliefs and practices to look at how African religion has engaged issues of socioeconomic development and power relations.
