At the same time, scholars of Christian Africa have long been concerned with the history of textual culture, the politics of Bible translation, and the status of the vernacular in Christianity. Students of Islam in Africa have similarly examined politics of knowledge, the transmission of learning in written form, and the influence of new media. Until now, however, these arenas--Christianity and Islam, digital media and "old" media--have been studied separately. Religion, Media, and Marginality in Modern Africa is one of the first volumes to put new media and old media into significant conversation with one another, and also offers a rare comparison between Christianity and Islam in Africa. The contributors find many previously unacknowledged correspondences among different media and between the two faiths. In the process they challenge the technological determinism--the notion that certain types of media generate particular forms of religious expression--that haunts many studies. In evaluating how media usage and religious commitment intersect in the social, cultural, and political landscapes of modern Africa, this collection will contribute to the development of new paradigms for media and religious studies."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aCambridge Centre of African Studies series. 606 $aMass media in religion$zAfrica 606 $aChristianity in mass media 606 $aIslam in mass media 606 $aDigital media$zAfrica 606 $aMarginality, Social$xReligious aspects 607 $aAfrica$2fast 615 0$aMass media in religion 615 0$aChristianity in mass media. 615 0$aIslam in mass media. 615 0$aDigital media 615 0$aMarginality, Social$xReligious aspects. 676 $a261.52096 702 $aBecker$b Felicitas$f1971- 702 $aCabrita$b Joel$f1980- 702 $aRodet$b Marie 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826211003321 996 $aReligion, media, and marginality in modern Africa$93958196 997 $aUNINA
