In this book, Maia Green explores contemporary Catholic practice in a rural community of Southern Tanzania. Setting the adoption of Christianity and the suppression of witchcraft in a historical context, she suggests that power relations established during the colonial period continue to hold between both popular Christianity and orthodoxy, and local populations and indigenous clergy. Paradoxically, while local practices around the constitution of kinship and personhood remain defiantly free of Christian elements, they inform a popular Christianity experienced as a system of substances and practices. This book offers a challenge to idealist and interpretative accounts of African participation in twentieth-century religious forms, and argues for a politically grounded analysis of historical processes. It will appeal widely to scholars and students of anthropology, sociology and African Studies; particularly those interested in religion and kinship. 410 0$aCambridge studies in social and cultural anthropology ;$v112. 517 3 $aPriests, Witches & Power 607 $aUlanga District (Tanzania)$xChurch history$y20th century 607 $aUlanga District (Tanzania)$xReligious life and customs 676 $a306.6/8267825 700 $aGreen$b Maia$01652972 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817700703321 996 $aPriests, witches and power$94003962 997 $aUNINA
