The Palgrave Handbook of African Traditional Religion cover

ThePalgrave Handbook of African Traditional Religion interrogates and presents robust and comprehensive contributions from interdisciplinary experts and scholars. Offering a range of perspectives and opinions through the prism of understanding the past about African Traditional religions and, more importantly, capturing their dynamics in the present and projecting their sustainability and relevance for the future, this volume is an essential resource for knowledge and understanding of African Traditional religions in the global space of religious traditions. 





“This impressive book claims to be the “only single volume or Handbook on African Traditional Religion” … . the Handbook’s encyclopedia- level comprehensiveness makes it a substantive and unique contribution with a balance of topical chapters … . The degree to which African religions permeate world culture, via historical dissemination or contemporary diaspora, is a matter to be explored more thoroughly, and volumes such as the Handbook of African Traditional Religion help point the way.” (Blair Alan Gadsby, Nova Religio, Vol. 27 (4), May, 2024)
