What happens when the very tool meant to liberate the soul is used to imprison the mind?
Sanctified Chains is a fearless examination of how organized religion—especially through colonial Christianity and later missionary Islam—was weaponized to subdue, divide, and control African people.

Sam Prajnananda unearths the devastating role religion played in Africa’s colonization, from justifying slavery and conquest to replacing indigenous spiritual systems with doctrines of guilt, fear, and submission. With compelling historical evidence and cultural insight, this book reveals how sacred texts were misused to sanctify injustice—and how foreign religious institutions often served empire more than enlightenment.

But Sanctified Chains is not just a critique—it’s a call to remember. It invites readers to rediscover Africa’s rich spiritual heritage, reawaken ancestral wisdom, and reclaim a form of spirituality rooted in liberation, balance, and truth.

This book challenges readers to ask: Whose god are we serving? Whose interests are being protected? And what would it mean to return to the divine on our own terms?

Sanctified Chains is a powerful, necessary truth-telling for a continent ready to break free from inherited mental prisons—and walk boldly in spiritual sovereignty.

  1. Ifeanyi Okoro –

    As a Nigerian-German living in Berlin, I found “Sanctified Chains” to be both courageous and thought-provoking. Prajnananda boldly exposes the complicated legacy of organized religion in Africa, blending historical analysis with deeply personal stories. The book invites Africans in the diaspora to reflect on our beliefs and reclaim spiritual autonomy. It’s a necessary, sometimes challenging read that opens the door for healing, understanding, and honest conversations about faith and freedom.

  2. Maya Nkrumah –

    I’m a Ghanaian-Brit living in London. “Sanctified Chains” was a revelation for me. Prajnananda masterfully dissects how religion was wielded as a tool of control, yet offers hope for spiritual liberation. The book’s blend of scholarship and storytelling empowers Africans everywhere to question, reclaim, and redefine our spiritual paths. Highly recommended for anyone in the diaspora seeking to understand the roots of cultural transformation and reclaim authentic identity.
