Genealogies of reclaimed nobility : the geotemporality of Yoruba belonging
The data for this dissertation were collected in two sites between February 1995 and May 1996. The predominant research site was a Yoruba community in Beaufort, South Carolina named b Oyotunji African Village. b Oyotunji a Yoruba word meaning "Oyo returns," refers to what the residents identify as their ancestral town of Oyo in the ancient Oyo Empire of Yorubaland. Oyotunji Village is a twenty-seven-year-old community of what I classify as African American converts to Yoruba religious practices. During my fifteen-month study, I also traveled with a small entourage from Oyotunji Village to many sites in the US and Nigeria, including the second principal locus of this dissertation, the city of Oyo. In these sites, I studied the Oyotunji Village practitioners' construction and contestations of "traditional" Yoruba practices.
