Sàngó in Africa and the African Diaspora is a multidisciplinary, transregional exploration of Sàngó religious traditions in West Africa and beyond. Sàngó—the Yoruba god of thunder and lightning—is a powerful, fearful deity who controls the forces of nature, but has not received the same attention as other Yoruba orishas. This volume considers the spread of polytheistic religious traditions from West Africa, the mythic Sàngó, the historical Sàngó, and syncretic traditions of Sàngó worship. Readers with an interest in the Yoruba and their religious cultures will find a diverse, complex, and comprehensive portrait of Sàngó worship in Africa and the African world.

This book discusses the new roles assigned to oral traditions in the works of contemporary playwrights, and asserts that these oral materials, though old, have enduring vitality and relevance for modern-day society. By looking at the African cultural matrix of the Yoruba people of southwestern Nigeria, this book presents a study of the strategies frequently adopted by contemporary Nigerian playwrights to preserve folkloric materials in their creative works and examines how these writers manipulate different forms of oral tradition to bring cultural and social vision to bear in their dramaturgy.
