RELIGION, ETHICS AND SOCIOPOLITICAL DYNAMICS: PERSPECTIVES ON CONTEMPORARY AFRICAN CHALLENGES
This book, Religion, Ethics and Socio-political Dynamics: Perspectives on Contemporary African Challenges, is a vital contribution to the discourse on the complex interrelations between religion, ethics, and socio-political realities in Africa. It is a direct outcome of the 2024 International Conference of the Association for the Promotion of African Studies (APAS), held at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria, from May 22 to 25, 2024. The conference, under the theme "African Heritage and Sustainability in the Global Future," was generously sponsored by the Emmanuel Kanu Educational Foundation. Africa, with its rich cultural and religious diversity, faces unique challenges and opportunities as it seeks to assert its place in a rapidly changing global landscape. The theme of the conference encapsulated this dual focus: honouring and understanding African heritage while exploring pathways to sustainable development. This book delves into how religion and ethics intersect with socio-political dynamics to shape the African experience and how these forces can be harnessed to address contemporary challenges.
