As the epicenter of Christianity has shifted towards Africa in
recent decades, Pentecostalism has emerged as a particularly
vibrant presence on the continent. This collection of essays offers
a groundbreaking study of the complex links between politics and
African Pentecostalism. Situated at the intersection between the
political, the postcolonial, and global neoliberal capitalism,
contributors examine the roots of the Pentecostal movement's
extraordinary growth; how Pentecostalism intervenes in key social
and political issues, such as citizenship, party politics,
development challenges, and identity; and conversely, how politics
in Africa modulate the Pentecostal movement. Pentecostalism and
Politics in Africa offers a wide-ranging picture of a central
dimension of postcolonial African life, opening up new directions
for future research.
