This book is the first full-length study of the postsecular in African literatures. Religion, secularism, and the intricate negotiations between the two, codified as postsecularism, are fundamental conditions of globalized modernity. These concerns have been addressed in social science disciplines, but largely neglected in postcolonial and literary studies. To remedy this oversight, this monograph brings debates in religious and postsecular studies to bear on African literatures and postcolonial studies. The focus of this interdisciplinary study is to understand how postsecular negotiations manifest in postcolonial African settings and how they are represented and registered in fiction. Through this focus, the book demonstrates how African and African-diasporic authors radically disrupt the epistemological and ontological modalities of globalized literary production, often characterized as secular, and imagine alternatives which incorporate religious discourse into a postsecular world--
