About this listen

This episode aims to explore why writing a single, unified history of religion in West Africa is historically and methodologically difficult.

Highlight how African religious experience has been shaped by indigenous traditions, Islam, and Christianity across different regions and time periods.

Encourage listeners to question simplistic narratives about “African religion” and to see West Africa as religiously diverse and dynamic
