This book explores the relationship between race and class among
middle-class Christians in South Africa. The book provides a
theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich study of
middle-class Christians in contemporary South Africa, as they seek
to live good lives and build a good society. Focused on the city of
Cape Town, drawing upon ethnographic research in conservative and
progressive multiracial Protestant churches, furnished with
critical analysis of South African literature and popular culture,
this timely study explores expressions of ambition and anxiety that
are both spiritual and material. Building upon debates over
middle-class identity and morality from sociology, anthropology,
and cultural studies, this book analyses congregational attempts at
social unity through worship music and creative youth ministry,
discussions on white privilege and shame, and the impact of
middle-class black activism in South African churches and society.
This book will be of interest to researchers of South African
culture and society, religion, anthropology, and sociology.
