S ng in Africa and the African Diaspora is a multidisciplinary, transregional exploration of S ng religious traditions in West Africa and beyond. S ngthe Yoruba god of thunder and lightningis 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 S ng, the historical S ng, and syncretic traditions of S ng worship. Readers with an interest in the Yoruba and their religious cultures will find a diverse, complex, and comprehensive portrait of S ng worship in Africa and the African world.
