Call for Papers for Special Issue on African Diaspora Religion: Submission Deadline
September 30, 2012
AIMS AND SCOPES: This special issue aims to explore the social, political, and cultural meanings and functions of African diaspora religions. This inquiry has continued up to
the present day as African diaspora religions have become transnational and are networks through which ideas about spirituality, community, authenticity, origins, body and space circulate. In addition, this special issue will examine the latest work on African diaspora religious practice, its contribution to the field of anthropology, and a discussion of its trajectory and where scholars hope to
see it go in the future. This edition will discuss and examine the different ways of viewing and analyzing the African diaspora in and through religious practice, and the accompanying complications that occur in social, political, cultural and material life. This special issue will seek to explore how African diaspora religious tradition intersects with and enhances discussions of a wide array of topics
such as the environment, globalization, spatialization, urbanization, immigration, etc.We seek to bring together a diverse range of scholars working on different aspects of African diaspora religion. We will only accept original scholarly submissions from undergraduate and graduate
students worldwide. FOR FULL CFP, PLEASE CONTACT LISANNE NORMAN, LNORMAN918@GMAIL.COM
