This volume describes attempts by governments to manage religious affairs in both Muslim and Christian areas; religious denominations acting in opposition to one-party state regimes; Islamic fundamentalism and its role before and after the end of the Cold War; and the era of structural adjustment and the part played by Christian churches operating as NGOs within its constraints.Hansen, Holger Bernt is the author of 'Religion and Politics in East Africa: The Period Since Independence', published 1995 under ISBN 9780852553848 and ISBN 0852553846.
