Reviews
The contributors to this book interrogate one of the issues influencing the functioning of the Nigerian society and politics. Religion, like ethnicity, has been instrumentalized as a weapon in the country's political economy. The authors offer credible evidence to support their analyses and interpretations of the interwoven relationship among religion, politics and society. The book is a good addition to the scholarly quest to understanding the complexity of a plural African society.--Lai Oso, Lagos State University
The contributors to this book interrogate one of the issues that influence Nigerian society and politics: religion. Like ethnicity, religion has been instrumentalized as a weapon in the country's political economy. The authors offer credible evidence to support their analyses and interpretations of the interwoven relationship among religion, politics, and society. This book is a good addition to the scholarly quest to understanding the complexity of a plural African society.--Lai Oso, Lagos State University This book dares to hold together the contestations and values of traditional African Religion, Christianity, and Islam for the African continent, which is a commendable and necessary task. Each chapter gives food for thought for readers from scholars to political agents and content creators to everyday citizens to consider both the problems and possibilities of the roles of religiosity and media literacy in Africa's future development.--Omotayo O.
