Religion, Politics and Cults in East Africa
God’s Warriors and Mary’s Saints
«Emmanuel Twesigye returns home to Uganda to examine the rise of seemingly perplexing Christian communities, such as the Lord’s Resistance Army, in which nearly a thousand adherents met with fiery deaths. In contrast to the superficial media reports that reinforce colonial mindsets of the exotic, irrational African, Twesigye’s thorough ethnographic field research tells another story. Like people everywhere, the Ugandans drawn to messianic leadership were responding to years of uncertainty brought about by civil war and the HIV/AIDS pandemic. ‘Religion, Politics and Cults in East Africa’ is a courageous, compassionate, and illuminating study of humans responding to chaos.» (Mary Howard, Ohio Wesleyan University)»
