The quest for preserving spiritual identity is paramount in the maintenance and nurturing of self and group identity. In poststructuralist thought, the idea of identity is no longer considered natural or innate; instead, it is something that is socially constructed. However, different disciplines seem to concur that identity is constructed through the stories that people tell themselves, and each other about whom they think they are. Narrative configuration, therefore, creates meaning out of the complexity of reality. This is also true with spiritual identity. Spiritual identity can be maintained by creating own life stories inspired by literature and drawing on literary elements. In their stories, Anglophone African literary writers make references to spiritual elements that gauge the maintenance or reclamation of African spiritual identity. This chapter draws from postcolonial African Anglophone literary texts by identifying and discussing episodes and language elements that speak to spiritual identity. This is a qualitative study that employs content analysis as a method of analysing postcolonial Anglophone African literary texts. The study found that although not homogenous, African spiritual identity draws from similar cultural concerns, making Africans somehow heed to similar spiritual beliefs and practices. The study recommends that although it might have been distorted by the lasting impacts of colonialism, African spiritual identity needs to be honed and maintained, as, like any other forms of identity, it remains the most crucial element in the lives of the African people.
