Sango in Africa and the African Diaspora
"Sango in Africa and the African Diaspora" is a multidisciplinary, trans-regional exploration of Sango religious traditions in West Africa and beyond. This volume considers the spread of polytheistic religious traditions from West Africa, the mythic Sango, the historical Sango, and syncretic traditions of Sango worship. Sango - the Yoruba god of thunder and lightning - is a powerful, fearful deity who controls the forces of nature, but unlike other Yoruba orishas, he has not received the same attention.
Readers with an interest in the Yoruba and their religious cultures will find a diverse, complex, and comprehensive portrait of Sango worship in Africa and the African world.
