Routledge - Race, Class and Christianity in South Africa

Explore the complex connections between race and class through the lens of middle-class Christians in South Africa. This book provides a theoretically sophisticated and empirically rich study of how individuals navigate contemporary life while seeking to build a good society. Based in Cape Town, the research uses ethnographic studies from both conservative and progressive multiracial Protestant churches to examine real-world experiences. By integrating critical analysis of South African literature and popular culture, this work offers a timely look at the spiritual ambitions and anxieties that shape middle-class identity. This title is an essential resource for those studying religion, sociology, and the social dynamics of South Africa.
