Bøker av Elizabeth A. Foster

Elizabeth Foster examines how French imperialists and the Africans they ruled imagined the religious future of sub-Saharan Africa in the years just before and after decolonization. The story encompasses the transition to independence, Catholic contributions to black intellectual currents, and efforts to create an authentically "African" church.

This book is an innovative exploration of French colonial rule in Senegal between 1880 and 1940, through the prism of religion and religious policy.
