Centre of African studies invites to the Africa Seminar titled: "Writing World Christianity: Bengt Sundkler, Titus Mthembu and the Politics of Knowledge Production in Apartheid-era South Africa". We welcome associate professor Joel Cabrita (Stanford University) who will revisit the history of the writing and circulation of the book Bantu Prophets (1948). The talk probes the production of religious knowledge in twentieth-century Africa the fraught power dynamics between professional scholars and their ‘assistants’, and the reliance of the new scholarly field of ‘World Christianity’ on a realm of hitherto obscured indigenous intellectual labour. 27 February 2020, 15:15-17:00, Room 8B-1-14, Building 8B, South Campus, University of Copenhagen.
