Publisher's Synopsis
This text sets out to examine and analyze the position of Islam and Christianity, the two global religions, within the context of Third World political change from the 1970s. It addresses the topic in a thematic, rather than area studies focus, and draws parallels between different religions, cultures, political syatems and geographical areas. It concludes by noting that religion and politics throughout the Third World never became divorced; rather, our way of looking at things assumed this was the case.
