It shows how religion both facilitates and complicates the expression of sexuality in Zimbabwe. Approaching religion from a broader perspective, this volume reviews the impact of African Indigenous Religions and Christianity in its varied forms on the construction and expression of sexuality in Zimbabwe. These contributors examine the role of indigenous beliefs, as well as interpretations of sacred texts, in the understanding of sexuality in Zimbabwe. They also address themes relating to sexual diversity and sexual and gender-based violence. Overall, this book sheds light on the ongoing relevance and strategic role of religion to contemporary discourses on human sexuality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments……………………………………………………………………………..\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction……………………………………………………………………………………\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSexuality in the Zimbabwean Sphere \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEzra Chitando and Francis Machingura\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 1……………………………………………………………………………….……\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShona Religion, Sexual and Reproductive Health \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMacloud Sipeyiye\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 2………………………………………………………………………………….\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Influence of Indigenous Values on Shangani Male Sexualities \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRichard S.
