Opis

Examines how learning and teaching morality in Tanzania's faith-oriented schools is inextricably interwoven with the complex power relations of an interconnected world.

Recenzje

'Dilger combines ethnographic depth with rich theoretical discussion to produce a novel and insightful analysis of the connection between 'the quest for a good life,' education, and religion in a religiously diverse African city, where colonial and post-independence forces have shaped contemporary socio-economic inequalities and other factors influencing the educational sector. He demonstrates what he terms the 'ordinarisation' of value frameworks of the religiously-oriented schools by their students and staff - that is, how the schools' values were learned, discussed, embodied, and expressed in the everyday lives of the pupils and teachers in fluid, non-conscious, and at times intentional manners, as they sought a 'good' life (12) … This text is recommended for students, teachers, researchers, and leaders interested in religion and education, Christian-Muslim relations, and the public role of religion in Tanzania, Africa, and beyond.'
