Description
Learning Morality, Inequalities, and Faith provides an in-depth ethnographic analysis of Christian and Muslim educational institutions in Tanzania, exploring how religious schools transmit moral values and shape student identities. Hansjörg Dilger examines the complex ways these institutions navigate questions of faith, ethics, and social responsibility in a postcolonial African context.
The book investigates how students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds experience religious education differently, revealing the deep connections between moral learning, religious practice, and structural inequalities. Through detailed fieldwork and interviews, Dilger demonstrates how schools serve as crucial sites for religious socialization while simultaneously reproducing or challenging existing social hierarchies.
Part of the International African Library series, this work contributes valuable insights to discussions of education, religion, and development in East Africa, offering perspectives relevant to understanding contemporary African societies.
