This landmark work of ethnography explores the enduring, global worship of the African god of war—with five new essays in this new, expanded edition.
Ogun—the ancient African god of iron, war, and hunting—is worshiped by more than forty million adherents in Western Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas. This rich, interdisciplinary collection draws on field research from several continents to reveal Ogun's dramatic power and enduring appeal.
Contributors examine the history and spread of Ogun throughout old and new worlds; the meaning of Ogun ritual, myth, and art; and the transformations of Ogun through the deity's various manifestations. This edition includes five new essays focusing mainly on Ogun worship in the new world.
"[A]n ethnographically rich contribution to the historical understanding of West African culture, as well as an exploration of the continued vitality of that culture in the changing environments of the Americas." — African Studies Review
