The Yoruba of southwestern Nigeria are exceptional for the copresence among them of three religious traditions: Islam, Christianity, and the indigenous orisa religion. In this comparative study, at once historical and anthropological, Peel explores the intertwined character of the three religions and the dense imbrication of religion in all aspects of Yoruba history up to the present. For over 400 years, the Yoruba have straddled two geocultural spheres: one reaching north over the Sahara to the world of Islam, the other linking them to the Euro-American world via the Atlantic. These two external spheres were the source of contrasting cultural influences, notably those emanating from the world religions. However, the Yoruba not only imported Islam and Christianity but also exported their own orisa religion to the New World. Before the voluntary modern diaspora that has brought many Yoruba to Europe and the Americas, tens of thousands were sold as slaves in the New World, bringing with them the worship of the orisa. Peel offers deep insight into important contemporary themes such as religious conversion, new religious movements, relations between world religions, the conditions of religious violence, the transnational flows of contemporary religion, and the interplay between tradition and the demands of an ever-changing present. In the process, he makes a major theoretical contribution to the anthropology of world religions.

Download or read book Islam in Contemporary Africa written by Afis Ayinde Oladosu and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-03-04 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Islam in Contemporary Africa: On Violence, Terrorism and Development features essays which are written by scholars, Christians and Muslims, on their experience of Islam and the Muslims in the continent of Africa and how tterrorism and violence have impacted intra-African harmony and cross-cultural understanding in the world today. The authors, most of whom reflect the cultural diversity of the continent particularly in its Eastern, Western and Southern-African contexts, have also tried to grapple with the dynamics which attend the current global war on terror, the Islamic and Christian jurisprudential perspectives to same and the politics of terror in and outside the continent. Perhaps most importantly the essays in this book betray, even though in an eclectic manner, a deep interest in the analyses of the phenomenon of terrorism and its over-all effects on Africa. Specifically the book examines the following as they relate to Violence, Terrorism, Africa's Development and global peace: Jurisprudence Anti-Terrorism Theology History Drugs and Narcotics The Media International Diplomacy Colonialism Intellectual Terrorism Gender and African Value System
