Synopsis :

Breaking away from the centuries-long theological tradition, Dmitry Usenco offers a radically new—semiotic—reading of spirituality, proceeding on his original theory of the initial cultural unity that embraces language, technology, and religion. African Traditional Religion comes into focus as a valid alternative and—in the long run—an equal partner to Christianity in the creation of a modern pluralistic society. While the author’s concepts and conclusions may seem controversial to some, none of the readers can discard them as irrelevant. Africa’s future will in many respects depend on her ability to preserve her cultural heritage in which religion plays a crucial part.

À propos de l'auteur: Born in Moldova, Dmitry Usenco earned his PhD at the Institute of World Literature, Moscow, in 1998. Having moved to the United Kingdom in 2004, he has since then worked as a translator, interpreter, and now also writer. This is the first full-size book he commends to the attention of his readers.
