Nathanael Homewood’s Seductive Spirits recontextualizes and theorizes demons within deliverance Pentecostal worldmaking. By engaging Homewood’s work in dialogue with African feminist concerns, this article argues that Seductive Spirits rejects colonial and secularized feminist frameworks of the metaphorical spectral. This article suggests that by instead acknowledging ghosts, demons, and ancestors as merciful and material, Homewood’s work provokes further creative and decolonial possibilities for African feminists.
