Abstract:
precis: This study provides an analysis of the impact of Mami-Wata spirituality on an understanding of the place and fate of Christianity in Africa today. A section of the Christian population negotiates their Christian beliefs through the prism of their traditional African religious cosmology and worldviews. This new Christian African spirituality is generating waves of faith crises. While previous scholarship has investigated the crises of African Christian faith from the dominant point of view of African culture and context, from Christian-Muslim interaction, or from the influence of Wester

Abstract:
This article will examine Nnedi Okorafor's Lagoon (2014) - a tale of shapeshifting aliens arriving off the coast of Lagos, Nigeria - as a quintessential Africanfuturist novel replete with disruptions of traditional science fiction tropes, transcorporeal mutations and endogenous African epistemologies. Our theoretical framework brings together two seemingly disparate thinkers whose work challenges essentialist identity politics: American ecocritical feminist, Donna Haraway, and Cameroonian anthropologist, Francis Nyamnjoh. Haraway's (1985) myth of the cyborg resonates with Okorafor's aliens and

Abstract:
Jewell Parker Rhodes’s Bayou Magic (2015), written in the wake of the 2010 BP oil spill, deliberates the special problem of talking to children about oil. How does one tackle the subject of oil when addressing young people? How are children enabled to participate in discourses on petroleum? The novel also reveals a dilemma: the resource that we associate with comfort and progress actually contaminates, wounds, and lays waste to natural and human ecosystems. Caught in the mucky conundrum of oil, Bayou Magic reveals the challenges of talking to children about oil and oil catastrophes. In strivin

Abstract:
Digital culture produces new dislocations, proximities and anxieties. Central here is “meme” culture, whose fluid movement morphs in transmission, drawing on older cultural symbols to create a feedback loop. One folkloric aquatic figure from the African continent and its diasporas, known as Mami Wata, exemplifies this memetic force that is carried over into the digital realm. Mami Wata is dualistic: human and water creature, beautiful and terrifying, pre-colonial and modern. She is fluid, not bound by traditionally grounded mobilities, and her origins are mysterious. Further, she thrives throu

Abstract:
This chapter reads and interprets the biblical story of Jonah in the context of an African worldview in which spirits are real and water is not an inanimate chemical component of the material world. The chapter offers a multi-method Africa-centric approach necessary to break western imperial hegemony present in scholarship and produce a reading that attends to the needs of Africans by taking the African worldviews seriously. Identifying the feminine character of the fish in Jonah’s story in the water, this chapter reads the biblical narrative in light of African/Africana epistemologies about M

Abstract:
This chapter traces the growth of a West African-Indian cultural economy from the early 1900s, challenging the geographical and ideological limits of Gilroy’s Black Atlantic and Indian Ocean frameworks. A multidirectional flow of texts, images, and people produced African-Indian exchanges seen to possess power and danger. New cultural expressions included Mami Wata worship and novel Islamic movements such as the Indian Ahmadiyya missionary movement, a heterodox Muslim sect that adopted Pan-Islamic and Pan-African politics.
