Development and Politics from Below

The editors of this volume pose major challenges to the research community: to re-evaluate the concepts, assumptions and methods that may veil rather than illuminate contemporary African societies and to develop a better understanding of the relationships between religion, politics, development and modernity. The authors of the individual chapters make a valuable contribution to this research agenda by examining aspects of the place of religion in public spaces; how religions function and shape people’s lives, communities and organizations; and the role of religion in the sphere of health.’—Carole Rakodi, Director of the Religion and Development Research Programme, International Development Department, University of Birmingham, UK —
