Afroindigenization

“A welcome expansion of the terrain. Catherine John has offered an original, rich, and nuanced interpretation of Afroindigeneity in our time. In the words of John’s mother, quoted in the book: ‘the world needs this one.’”—LeRhonda S. Manigault-Bryant, Director of the Sonja Haynes Stone Center and Professor of African, African American and Diaspora Studies, UNC Chapel Hill “Afroindigenzation is a transdisciplinary study by a senior scholar that demonstrates with originality, finesse, and power African spiritual modes of habitation, survival, and thriving among African descendants past and present across the Americas and the Caribbean. Catherine John’s skill at elaborating a new theory of African diaspora religiosity, spirituality, and cultural production/performance is truly exceptional.”—Dianne M. Stewart, Samuel Candler Dobbs Professor of Religion and African American Studies, Emory University
