Moving by the spirit : Pentecostal social life on the Zambian Copperbelt
Naomi Haynes (Author)
Drawing on two years of ethnographic research, this book explores Pentecostal Christianity in the kind of community where it often flourishes: a densely populated neighborhood in the heart of an extraction economy. It highlights this religion's role in making life possible in structurally adjusted Africa.
