Evolutions of the Religious Landscape in East and Central Africa
This conference will explore the major evolutions of the religious landscape in Central and East Africa. We will discuss the mutations observable in the Christian and Muslim worlds, the relations between religion and politics, and the development of various forms of radicalism, whether rhetorical, exacerbating social conservatism, or fueling and/or combining with violent challenges to the powers that be. These dynamics will be examined at local, national and transnational levels.
