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