About the book

Orisa worship is one of the most prominent and recognisable signs of the Yoruba connection with countries far beyond the boundaries of Nigeria. With millions of Orisa practitioners in the world, Yoruba gods are very much alive and form part of the Nigerian and Yoruba diasporan religious experience. Toyin Falola and Ann Genova introduce new ideas, perspectives and methodologies on and of Orisa worship, reflecting a multi-disciplinary approach. Explores divination, Santeria, festivals and songs, Orisa-based communities in the US and cult globalisation.
