Description

Explore the evolution of religious studies with From Primitive to Indigenous: The Academic Study of Indigenous Religions. Published by Routledge, this work examines how the classification of Indigenous religions has historically emerged from missiological and anthropological roots. While many religious studies departments have overlooked this specific category, James Cox provides a necessary analysis to bridge that gap. Through detailed case studies from Zimbabwe, Alaska, and various shamanic traditions, the book addresses modern debates regarding the concept of primitivism. Cox builds a strong scholarly defense for the use of the term Indigenous Religions, making this an essential text for those interested in how academic frameworks shape our understanding of global belief systems. This book serves as a foundational resource for students and researchers looking to understand the shifting landscape of religious scholarship and the legitimacy of indigenous classifications in a modern academic context.
