By Jocelyn Edwards

…ve had to bury Kato, who identified as Christian, without a blessing from any member of the clergy had Senyonjo not stepped in. “I believed that it wasn’t right just to dump the body there without prayers.

By J. Kameron Carter

…night? This is the question Dr. Butler rightly—and to the discomfort of many—is raising. Her answer: it’s the “American god,” who is nothing less than “a white racist god . . . carrying a gun and stalking young black men.” This edgy reference to a “white racist god,” drawn from Dr. William R. Jones’s book Is God a White Racist?, is what seems to have stuck in some people’s craw and found its way into much of the conservative media. What could suc…

…ored problem. At midnight, following the conference, Glassman held a ceremony to invoke “La Siren,”—the Haitian name for the Yoruba sea goddess Yemaja. The ceremony was partly to apologize to the goddess for damage caused by the BP oil spill of 2010, and partly to seek her guidance in finding better forms of water management. Unlike private services like blessings and divination, invoking La Siren for a symposium on water management is an eminentl…

Will a Video Game Make Sense of Qaddafi’s Death?

By Rachel Wagner

…Level up, Libyans. It remains to be seen if Kuma Games will incorporate any of this real video into their framing of the game, but even if they don’t, for many players the footage will become a part of the “backstory” as they “help” the Libyan people defeat their dictator in a virtual context, proving to themselves through game-play and the repeated digital defeat of Qaddafi that without American help, nothing revolutionary can happen in the wor…
