| Summary: | This volume draws attention to the transnationalisation of religion and AIDS in Africa and addresses the question why so much of the transnational religious engagement with the disease has seemed to serve conservative values, such as disapproval of sex before marriage and condemnation of homosexuals. Introducing concepts from the study of transnationalism into the study of religion and AIDS in Africa, the book offers a new set of conceptual tools for the analysis of how religious ideologies and moralities have been shaping the experience of AIDS in Africa |
