Bol NEGOTIATING THE SACREDGlobalized Religions and Traditional Recompositions in AfricaContemporary Africa is witnessing a profound religious transformation. Faced with the expansion of neo-Pentecostal movements and their "prosperity gospel", African traditions are not disappearing: they are being negotiated.This book reveals the mechanisms of this hybridization in action: the demonization of local spirits, the double-dealing of the faithful, the reinvention of rites and the emergence of new syncretisms. Combining anthropology, sociology and history, Abel Samary shows how African societies are actively reinterpreting global religious models, producing new forms of the sacred.An essential analysis for grasping the spiritual and identity-related mutations that are redrawing Africa in the XXI¿ century.
