Description

Explore the complex dynamics of religious resistance and social support in Africa through this scholarly work by Routledge. This book examines the specific forms of Christian service and diaconia that arise within non-institutionalized practices to support survivors of indigenous ritual servitude, known as Trokosi, in Ghana. Drawing on empirical research, the text investigates how liberated Trokosi women seek freedom, equality, and dignity. It analyzes how their lived experiences challenge and repudiate dominant patriarchal family systems. A significant focus is placed on the work of indigenous parachurches. These organizations operate outside of traditional institutionalized churches to address the needs of survivors and challenge contemporary ritual practices. This academic resource provides deep insights into the hidden spaces of otherness within religion. It is an essential read for those studying the intersections of religion, resistance, and hospitality in African social contexts.
