Religion and the COVID-19 Pandemic in Southern Africa (Hardcover): Fortune Sibanda, Tenson Muyambo, Ezra Chitando Religion and the COVID-19 Pandemic in Southern Africa (Hardcover)
Fortune Sibanda, Tenson Muyambo, Ezra Chitando
R3,893 Discovery Miles 38 930 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book investigates the role of religion in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Southern Africa. Building on a diverse range of methodologies and disciplinary approaches, the book reflects on how religion, politics and health have interfaced in Southern African contexts, when faced with the sudden public health emergency caused by the pandemic. Religious actors have played a key role on the frontline throughout the pandemic, sometimes posing roadblocks to public health messaging, but more often deploying their resources to help provide effective and timely responses. Drawing on case studies from African indigenous knowledge systems, Islam, Rastafari and various forms of Christianity, this book provides important reflections on the role of religion in crisis response. This book will be of interest to researchers across the fields of African Studies, Health, Politics and Religious Studies.

Religion and COVID-19 Vaccination in Zimbabwe: Tenson Muyambo, Fortune Sibanda, Ezra Chitando Religion and COVID-19 Vaccination in Zimbabwe
Tenson Muyambo, Fortune Sibanda, Ezra Chitando
R3,878 Discovery Miles 38 780 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book analyses the role of religion during the COVID-19 pandemic and vaccination roll-out in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe was listed by WHO as one of thirteen African countries to have fully vaccinated more than 10% of its population against COVID-19 by the end of September 2021, but the country fell far short of the government’s own target for achieving 60% inoculation by December 2020. This book analyses whether religion played a role in explaining why the government’s pro-vaccine stance did not translate into high vaccination rates. Drawing upon various religions, including African indigenous religions, Christianity and Islam, the book considers how faith actors demonstrated vaccine acceptance, resistance, or hesitancy. Zimbabwe offers a particularly interesting and varied case for analysis, and the original research on display here will be an important contribution to wider debates on religion and COVID-19. This book will be useful for academics, researchers and students studying religious studies, sociology, health and well-being, religion and development.
