Description

Book Synopsis
“This is the most unusual history of Africa… it compares three religious systems: Christianity, Islam and indigenous African religions, in their influence on the history of the continent. Mavimbela seeks to demonstrate that all these religions are deeply rooted in the customs, practices and beliefs of the respective societies and that none are superior in their ability to explain the natural phenomena encountered by their adherents… this book is an extended expose of how a conquering power used either Christianity or Islam to establish subjugation over African people… The author hopes that by revisiting the painful detail of that history and it’s implications, African people might still locate the bearings that might lead them back to their self-worth.” – Prof Ben Turok
