Religious activities have been of continuing importance in the rise
of protest against postcolonial governments in Eastern Africa.
Governments have attempted to "manage" religious affairs in both
Muslim and Christian areas. Religious denominations have acted as
advocates of human rights and in opposition to one-party-state
regimes. Islamic fundamentalism changed with the ending of the Cold
War. The book is divided into four parts: The Challenge of Islam;
Christianity, Sectarianism, and Politics in Uganda; Christians and
Muslim in Kenyan Politics; and Cross-cultural Complications. An
introductory essay by Michael Twaddle provides and overview of the
changing character of politico-religious conflict in Eastern
Africa. Holger Bernt Hansen summarizes the presentation with a
discussion of dilemmas and challenges in the study of religion and
politics.
