Description:

Religious activities have been of continuing importance in the rise of protest against post-colonial governments in Eastern Africa.

Synopsis:

This volume describes attempts by governments to manage religious affairs in both Muslim and Christian areas of East Africa. It also shows how religious denominations act in opposition to one-party state regimes; Islamic fundamentalism and its role before and after the end of the Cold War; and the part played by Christian churches operating as NGOs within the constraints of structural adjustment.
