Ethnic Patriotism and the East African Revival shows how, in the
era of African political independence, cosmopolitan Christian
converts struggled with East Africa's patriots over the definition
of culture and community. The book traces the history of the East
African Revival, an evangelical movement that spread through much
of eastern and central Africa. Its converts offered a subversive
reading of culture, disavowing their compatriots and disregarding
their obligations to kin. They earned the ire of East Africa's
patriots, who worked to root people in place as inheritors of
ancestral wisdom. This book casts religious conversion in a new
light: not as an inward reorientation of belief, but as a political
action that opened up novel paths of self-narration and unsettled
the inventions of tradition.
