Africa's Social and Religious Quest
This well-crafted book probes the key dimensions of Africa’s existential predicament. It constitutes an intellectual response to a gnawing “African situation”—the starting point for grasping Africa’s social and religious quest. Beyond split explanations of external versus internal factors (e.g., colonization/slavery vs. leadership/cultural values), this study accounts more comprehensively for emergent issues shaping this situation. The situation reflects a gamut of problems in traditional African religion and material culture, which hitherto defines African communality, polities, and destinies vis-à-vis the cosmos and nature.

Temporal Explorations in the Anthropology of Religion
How do people make sense of their past, and look forward into their future, through practices religious, spiritual or otherwise in places of both modernity and political trauma? This volume investigates how political, social, and individual temporal and historical horizons are generated and reformulated in relation to embodied, material, and ideological contexts.

Neon Road
Todd Sanders' neon contemporary art evokes a time when America fell in love with the road trip. We hopped in the family wagon to explore the nation, lured to motels, diners, and curious roadside attractions by the colorful glow of neon.The sign masters who crafted those slices of Americana are Sanders' heroes, and he's built a career designing and creating original, entirely handmade neon works using their time-honored techniques. He calls his style modern vintage, and shares a rich artistic vein mined by fellow pop artist Andy Warhol and other pop-culture iconographers.A Montgomery, TX native who began pursuing his muse in earnest after moving to Austin, Sanders' work is prized by collectors. Clients include Willie Nelson, Shepard Fairey, Joe Rogan, Kacey Musgraves, Edie Brickell/ Paul Simon, Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) and The Kings of Leon.
