I am currently researching on how new religious movements position themselves in the religious landscape of Africa. As such, I need readings relating to positioning theory, particularly contested religious positioning. I would greatly appreciate your suggestions.
Bhagwat Gita is the greatest symbol to change the mankind to a humanist in every respect .Apart from this the greatest insult Gandhiji experience which has made a symbol of Non -Violence movement with the firm faith in God & he is to take recourse to Bhagwat Gita for him a day light vision .
This is my personal opinion
Hi Rohit,
I am not sure if your opinion is relevant to my request.
Thanks
Gabriel, Not my field, but fascinating. The following articles MAY help (with plenty of lateral thinking applied!) 1. 'Empowerment and discernment in diaspora situations-thoughts on theology and the resilience of Christians in Indonesia' (1)-essay, Sinn, Simone, Currents in Theology and Missions, June, 2010, 37(3), p 217 (8). 2. 'Local Reformers and the Search for Change: the emergence of Salafisa in Bale, Ethiopia'. (company overview). Ostebo, Jerje, Africa, Nov. 2011, 81(4), p21; and, take a leap of faith here and look at the errors made by the would be 'positioners' in 3. 'Jumping the fences: Maori Women's resistance to Missionary Schooling in Northern New Zealand (1823-1825)', Fitzgerald, T., Pedagogica Historica, 01Jan., 2001, 37(1) pp 175-192 and 4. (seems off beam but think hard about the 'mindful identity negotiations' and 'acculturation' keywords in 'Mindful identity negotiations: The acculturation of young Assyrian Women in New Zealand', Collie, P., Kindon, J., James, L. & Podsiadlowski, A., International Journal of Intercultural relations, 2010, 34(3). pp208-22. All the best.
Catherine,
Thank you very much indeed. This list is very helpful
Best wishes, Gabriel
Amy Stambach's book might be a good starting point:
Stambach, A. (2010). Faith in Schools: Religion, Education, and American Evangelicals in East Africa. Stanford University Press.
Best,
