Plurality of religion, plurality of justice
Exploring the role of religion in disputing processes in Gorongosa,
Central Mozambique
Carolien Jacobs Leiden: African Studies Centre, African studies

Religion is alive, especially - and increasingly - in the global South. What
impact does religion have in everyday life as provider of normative
orientations? This research investigates the role of religion in disputing
processes in Gorongosa, Mozambique, where both traditional religion and
Christianity are tremendously popular. The author compares the
religiously-oriented modes of disputing with the secular and formal modes of
disputing advocated by government actors. The study reveals that different
religions provide different normative orientations to people that strongly
impact modes of disputing, not only within the religious realm but also
within secular realms of disputing. ISBN
