| adam_text | AFRICA, RELIGION
Particularly valuable for the manner in which religious
or mystical notions of evil are linked to more secular
ones, notably violence and warfare, fetishes, gender
constructs, psychoanalytic processes, personhood, theft,
transnational connections, and apartheid.
William C. Olsen, Walter L·. A. van Bbek, and the contributors to
this volume seek to understand how Africans have confronted
evil around them. Grouped around notions of evil as a cognitive
or experiential problem, evil as malevolent process, and evil as an
inversion of justice, these essays investigate what can be accepted
and what must be condemned in order to evaluate being and
morality in Africah cultural and social contexts. These studies of
evil entanglements take local and national histories and identities
into account, including state politics and civil war, religious
practices, Islam, gender, and modernity.
