Walking through the West African spiritual traditions is something that I wish we had more time to do in class. One thing I would be interested in is how the Western influence changed the African spirituality depicted in the book. We know the colonial tradition of the African continent and it is inevitable that it had an influence on the spiritual tradition. Unfortunately, the African tradition of orality means that we may never know what that spirituality looked like before Western influence.
