Ben Knighton

4.9/5 (25444 ratings)

Description:The traditional African religion of the Karamojong, despite the multiple external influences of the twentieth century and earlier, has remained at the heart of their culture as it has changed through time. Drawing on oral accounts and the language itself, as well as his extensive experience of living and working in the region, Knighton avoids Western perspectivism to highlight the successful reassertion of African beliefs and values over repeated attempts by interventionists to replace or subvert them. Knighton argues that the religious aspect of Karamojong culture, with its persistent faith dimensions, is one of the key factors that have enabled them to maintain their amazing degree of religious, political and military autonomy in the postmodern world. Using historical and anthropological approaches, the real continuities within the culture and the reasons for the mysterious vitality of Karamojong religion are explored.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
