Joram Tarusarira

Reconciliation and Religio-political Non-conformism in Zimbabwe (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book critically analyses the role of religio-political organisations in advocating democratisation and reconciliation in Zimbabwe against acquiescent, silenced or co-opted mainstream churches. Tarusarira analyses activities of religious organisations that deviate from the mainline churches' and the political elite's position with regard to religious participation in political matters, against a background of political conflict and violence. The author draws on detailed case studies of three such groups: the Zimbabwe Christian Alliance (ZCA), Churches in Manicaland (CiM) and Grace to Heal (GtH). Special attention is paid to religio-political non-conformists and their civil society allies offering alternative sources for promoting democratisation and reconciliation.
