A Secularisation of a Sacred Ideology? Civil Religion and Inter-religious Relations in Contemporary Tanzania

In English

Författare

  • Hans Olsson

Summary, in English

The paper discusses the legacy of the ujamaa ideology in contemporary Tanzania through the concept of civil religion and current strives along inter-religious and intra-religious lines.
