The Spiritual Life of Water: Aquatic Sacred Space and Urban Environmental Change in 20th century Johannesburg and Kampala
REFNo: SS2389ES
My dissertation research explores how water-based religious practices have been profoundly transformed amidst the immense environmental and legal changes precipitated during the colonial and postcolonial periods in Africa. I examine both the creativity and the resilience of African religious practitioners in making new meaning amidst the displacement of water-based loci of spirituality. In particular, I focus on the paradox of ritual cleansing and healing in polluted bodies of water, a practice that has its roots in the systems of colonization and racial exclusion that are foundational to histories of urban Africa. Kampala’s Lubigi Wetland has long been a vibrant space where diverse groups of Ugandans sought and still seek healing, both physical (particularly at the advent of the HIV/AIDS epidemic) and spiritual. Their resources are a powerful spirit medium thought to connect to spiritual forces in the wetland’s tranquil waters. Yet today, human settlement, environmental degradation, and violent conflict overshadow the swamp’s long history as a spiritual healing center of the Buganda Kingdom.
