Holy Hustlers, Schism, and Prophecy: Apostolic Reformation in Botswana Volume 11 [With DVD] Paperback - 2011
by Richard Werbner
From the rear cover
"Werbner makes an outstanding contribution to the growing field of Anthropology of Christianity, ethnographically and historically. His writing is engaged and engaging, certain to appeal to a readership beyond the circle of specialists on the topic and field." -Johannes Fabian, University of Amsterdam
"Richard Werbner is certainly one of the preeminent anthropologists of our time. I pity the ethnographies that come unaccompanied by film. How threadbare they will appear in comparison with this masterpiece Werbner has served up. Or, perhaps I should pity the ethnographic films that come unaccompanied by text from a masterful theoretician and storyteller with Werbner's facility. This exercise in the anthropology of ritual performance and the cinematic is but the latest example of Werbner's ability to continually reside at the cutting edge of the anthropological enterprise." -James A. Pritchett, Professor of Anthropology and Director of Africa Studies at Michigan State University
"Holy Hustlers is a master's work and the summum bonum of a long career in central African ethnography. Few could contribute more knowledgeably than Richard Werbner, as this study shows, to our understanding of the search for surcease of sorrow and for spiritual salvation. Werbner keeps a keen eye on the "hustling" aspect of this search, to be sure, but accompanying this perspicacity of observation is a deeper respect, perhaps even a reverence, for the meaningfulness that his Apostolics, his co-participants, in the search achieve." -James W. Fernandez, The University of Chicago
"This book is a sensuous and empathetic account of young Christians in urban Botswana, providing thoughtful insights into the work of charismatic prophecy and healing, the dialectics of "individuality" and "dividuality" and the generational dynamics of reformation in African Christianity. A fine piece of scholarship." -Thomas Kirsch, University of Constance, Germany
