Statehood and the manufacture of religion in Angola

In this paper I approach the religious landscape of Angola from the viewpoint of the

entanglements between religious institutions and the Angolan state. Taking as point

of departure two seemingly opposite cases in what concerns 'successful' and

'unsuccessful' movements - that of the Tokoist Church and that of the 'Kalupeteka'

Church -, I will discuss what I am currently calling the process of 'manufacture' of the

Angolan religious sphere.

Angola. Religion. Politics. Activism.
