  The book series examines the religious, cultural, and political expressions of
  African, African American, and African Caribbean traditions. Through
  transnational, cross-cultural, and multidisciplinary approaches to the study
  of religion, the series investigates the epistemic boundaries of continental
  and diasporic religious practices and thought and explores the diverse and
  distinct ways African-derived religions inform culture and politics. The
  series aims to establish a forum for imagining the centrality of Black
  religions in the formation of the “New World.”
