The Many Who Dance in Me: Afro-Atlantic Ontology and the Problem with 'Transnationalism
Abstract
This innovative collection examines the transnational movements, effects, and transformations
of religion in the contemporary world, offering a fresh perspective on the interrelation
between globalization and religion. Taken as a whole, Transnational Transcendence
challenges some widely accepted ideas about this relationship, in particular, that
international contemporary religious manifestations are secondary to the primary economic
phenomenon of globalization.
