Africana Religions

Africana Religions is a new book series edited by Sylvester A. Johnson, an editor of the Journal of Africana Religions. Adopting a global vision for the study of Black religions, the Africana Religions book series explores the rich diversity of religious history and life among African and African-descended people. It publishes research on African-derived religions of Orisha devotion, Christianity, Islam, and other religious traditions that are part of the Africana world. The series emphasizes the translocal nature of Africana religions across national, regional, and hemispheric boundaries. Books in this series will examine religious experiences, identities, beliefs, aesthetics, ethics, practices, institutions, or objects, using a variety of methods, including archival, theoretical, literary, sociological, and ethnographic approaches.
