This book analyses how religion is entangled in people's lives in
Sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia. It provides an introduction
to the teachings, practices and values promoted by the main
religious traditions in these regions and an overview of the
evidence on what religion means to people in terms of their beliefs
and religious practices and how it influences their values,
attitudes and day-to-day relationships with others, especially
their families. Over the course of the book Carole Rakodi explores
similarities and differences between and within religious
traditions and identifies some of the key factors that influence
and explain the roles played by religion in people's personal lives
and social relationships. A separate companion volume will go on to
focus on the social and political roles and relationships of
religious groups and organisations. This book will be of great
interest to academics and students working in a range of
disciplines, especially sociology, religious studies and
development studies but also anthropology, geography and area
studies.
