This book illustrates how religion and ideology were used by Robert
Mugabe to ward off opposition within his own party, in Zimbabwe and
from the West. An interdisciplinary line up of contributors argue
that Mugabe used a calculated narrative of deification - presenting
himself as a divine figure who had the task of delivering land,
freedom and confidence to black people across the world - to remain
in power in Zimbabwe. The chapters highlight the appropriation and
deployment of religious themes in Mugabe's domestic and
international politics, reflect on the contestation around the
deification of Mugabe in Zimbabwean politics across different forms
of religious expression, including African Traditional Religions
and various strands of Christianity and initiate further
reflections on the interface between religion and politics in
Africa and globally. Politics and Religion in Zimbabwe will be of
interest to scholars of religion and politics, Southern Africa and
African politics.
