Since the 1990s, most African economies and public spheres have
been liberalised, and new civil society actors have emerged. As
mapped out by Marie Nathalie LeBlanc and Louis Audet Gosselin, in
West Africa Christian and Muslim organisations have come to
dominate the field of humanitarian assistance. Moving beyond
mainstream development theory, Faith and Charity brings out the
crucial role of religion in the development process and the
interplay of moral and political ideologies. From faith-based NGOs
to individual local activists, the authors explore how each group
makes sense of, and contributes to, the wider process of social
development in the neoliberal era. Based on extensive research and
deploying a sophisticated and original frame of analysis, Faith and
Charity will make an important contribution to the existing
literature on development anthropology and the anthropology of
religion in Africa.
