In the context of South Africa's political journey and religious diversity, David Chidester explores African indigenous religious heritage with a difference. As the spiritual dimension of an African Renaissance, indigenous religion has been recovered in South Africa as a national resource. Wild Religion analyzes indigenous rituals of purification on Robben Island, rituals of healing and reconciliation at the new national shrine, Freedom Park, and rituals of animal sacrifice at the World Cup. Not always in the national interest, indigenous religion also appears in the wild religious creativity of prison gangs, the global spirituality of neo-shamans, the ceremonial display of Zulu virgins, the ancient Egyptian theosophy in South Africa's Parliament, and the new traditionalism of South Africa's President Jacob Zuma. Arguing that the sacred is produced through the religious work of intensive interpretation, formal ritualization, and intense contestation, Chidester develops innovative insights for understanding the meaning and power of religion in a changing society. For anyone interested in religion, Wild Religion uncovers surprising dynamics of sacred space, violence, fundamentalism, heritage, media, sex, sovereignty, and the political economy of the sacred. 606 $aCults - South Africa 606 $aCults -- South Africa 606 $aCultural pluralism - South Africa 606 $aCultural pluralism -- South Africa 606 $aNativistic movements - South Africa 606 $aNativistic movements -- South Africa 606 $aReligion and sociology - South Africa 606 $aReligion and sociology -- South Africa 606 $aSouth Africa - Religion 606 $aSouth Africa -- Religion 606 $aSouth Africa - Religious life and customs 606 $aSouth Africa -- Religious life and customs 606 $aReligion and sociology$zSouth Africa 606 $aCults$zSouth Africa 606 $aNativistic movements$zSouth Africa 606 $aCultural pluralism$zSouth Africa 606 $aReligion$2HILCC 606 $aPhilosophy & Religion$2HILCC 606 $aAfrican Religions$2HILCC 607 $aSouth Africa$xReligion 607 $aSouth Africa$xReligious life and customs 610 $a20th century. 610 $aafrican renaissance. 610 $aanimal sacrifice. 610 $acomparative religion. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $afreedom park. 610 $ahealing and reconciliation. 610 $aindigenous religions. 610 $aneo shamans. 610 $aprison gangs. 610 $areligious diversity. 610 $areligious heritage. 610 $areligious historians. 610 $areligious history. 610 $areligious rituals. 610 $areligious scholars. 610 $areligious studies. 610 $arobben island. 610 $asacredness. 610 $asouth africa. 610 $asouth african history. 610 $asouth african politics. 610 $aspiritual dimensions. 610 $atheology. 610 $atraditionalism. 610 $aworld religion. 615 4$aCults - South Africa. 615 4$aCults -- South Africa. 615 4$aCultural pluralism - South Africa. 615 4$aCultural pluralism -- South Africa. 615 4$aNativistic movements - South Africa. 615 4$aNativistic movements -- South Africa. 615 4$aReligion and sociology - South Africa. 615 4$aReligion and sociology -- South Africa. 615 4$aSouth Africa - Religion. 615 4$aSouth Africa -- Religion. 615 4$aSouth Africa - Religious life and customs. 615 4$aSouth Africa -- Religious life and customs. 615 0$aReligion and sociology 615 0$aCults 615 0$aNativistic movements 615 0$aCultural pluralism 615 7$aReligion 615 7$aPhilosophy & Religion 615 7$aAfrican Religions 676 $a200.968 700 $aChidester$b David$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0658698 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807653603321 996 $aWild Religion$94069499 997 $aUNINA
