Race, Class and Christianity in South Africa: Middle-Class Moralities: Routledge Studies on Religion in Africa and the Diaspora
Autor Ibrahim Abrahamen Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 aug 2021
The book provides a theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich study of middle-class Christians in contemporary South Africa, as they seek to live good lives and build a good society. Focused on the city of Cape Town, drawing upon ethnographic research in conservative and progressive multiracial Protestant churches, furnished with critical analysis of South African literature and popular culture, this timely study explores expressions of ambition and anxiety that are both spiritual and material. Building upon debates over middle-class identity and morality from sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies, this book analyses congregational attempts at social unity through worship music and creative youth ministry, discussions on white privilege and shame, and the impact of middle-class black activism in South African churches and society.
This book will be of interest to researchers of South African culture and society, religion, anthropology, and sociology.
