Africans in Diaspora and Diasporas in Africa

by Bulus Galadima (Editor), Sam George (Editor)

Overview

Africans are on the move. They are moving within their nations, across the continent, and around the world. This is not a new phenomenon. From the days of historic slavery to modern times, Africans in pursuit of education, jobs, business, and safety, have created a vibrant global diaspora. Whether voluntarily or forcibly displaced, they carry their values of spirituality, community, and hospitality wherever they go. As the largest Christian continent in the world, Christianity is inevitable in diasporic discourses.

This collection of essays from leading scholars and seasoned practitioners reveals the journeys of modern African diasporas from a Christian perspective. Timely and unprecedented, it reveals how God moves with African people, making himself known amongst them and through them.
