Religion and Politics in Africa

This is an analysis of the interaction between politics and religious groups in post-independence Africa. The book focuses on the three main religious traditions - Christian, Islamic and the variety of "syncretistic" movements. The author's thematic and comparative approach embraces Anglophone, Francophone and Lusophone Africa, and seeks to locate the role of religion in the African political process in its historical, social and international contexts.Haynes, Jeff is the author of 'Religion and Politics in Africa', published 1996 under ISBN 9781856493918 and ISBN 1856493911.
