Appendix: Marian Literature Used by the MRTC
A compelling account...amongst the outstanding Africanist
ethnographies of recent years: a splendid combination of
ethnographic investigation with the evaluation of texts and images,
and a significant addition to the literature on African-initiated
Churches.
*AFRICAN AFFAIRS*
A tour de force in historical ethnography and anthropological
detective work... a deftly crafted account of gender relations,
changes in household structure, exchange networks, cults of
affliction, Roman Catholic history, the consequences of the AIDS
epidemic, and the rise of New Christianity, all beautifully
contextualized in the ethnography of the Ankole and Kiga people of
southwestern Uganda. ... All of this makes the book useful and
accessible to a wide constituency in Africa and beyond.
