Religion and Inequality in Africa

«At a time when Africa’s inequality question is often tilted towards the economic and political, this volume takes a forward leap. Bringing together newer voices to dissect the twin subjects of religion and inequality, the editors of this volume contribute to our understanding of everyday life in Africa. This book is well detailed, clearly written, easily understandable and above all, it is important reading for almost anyone.»

«In an era when the Covid-19 Pandemic has exposed grave socio-economic inequalities both within nation-states and at a global level, this important and innovative collection examines how religion can discriminate along lines of wealth, race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, age and physical ability in a manner that blights individual and societal development within Africa and beyond. Written by a dynamic group of scholars, each chapter brings a fresh and innovative approach to the subject matter. The provocative case studies raise key questions for debate and set an important agenda for social and economic transformation.»
