PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Henni Alava is Academy Research Fellow at Tampere University.
Christianity, Politics and the Afterlives of War in Uganda is a significant contribution to the literature on religion and politics in Africa. Henni Alava nicely balances an openness to both the religious claims of her research subjects and the embeddedness of church structures in political realities. Highly recommended. --Todd Whitmore, Associate Professor of Moral Theology and Christian Ethics, University of Notre Dame, USA The messiness and mundanity of life lived in the aftermath of war is the subject of Henni Alava's sensitive and insightful book. With perspicacity, she illuminates how Catholics and Anglicans in Acholiland, Uganda talk about confusion as they seek peace and observe political conflict within the institutions that offer them hope. --Emma Wild-Wood, Senior Lecturer, African Christianity and African Indigenous Religions, University of Edinburgh, UK
