Описание
Итог:The article evaluates David Chidester's Wild religion (2012) for what it teaches us about tracking and studying the 'indigenous sacred' in contemporary South Africa, and, by extension, in Africa more generally, and the diaspora. By adopting a more dynamic and open-ended approach to religion as a set of resources and strategies, Chidester provides critical insights on the production, appropriation, and interpretation of indigenous religious myths and rituals in the post-apartheid setting.
