In what ways and senses does religion endure? In what ways has
development failed Africa? How can we build effective African
politics from below? These are some of the questions explored in
this volume, which seeks to analyze the shifting and complex sets
of relationships that exist between religion, politics and
development in Africa. Modernist and secularist thinking has long
predicted that religion would be rendered irrelevant, to be
sidestepped, ignored or eliminated. However, this is not the case
in 21st century Africa. Religion plays an increasingly important
role in politics and development. This volume captures the dynamism
and power of religion in Africa. In doing so it aims to move beyond
narrow conceptualisations of 'politics' and 'development' and
public and private spaces in order to uncover the meaning of modern
religion in Africa and the many ways it is embedded in millions of
Africans' everyday struggles to survive, sustain themselves and
make sense of the modern world.
