Description
Youth, Pentecostalism, and Popular Music in Rwanda is an ethnographic study that examines the complex relationship between religious practice, popular culture, and youth identity in post-genocide Rwanda. Andrea Mariko Grant investigates how young Pentecostal Christians in Rwanda use music as a primary means of expressing their faith, navigating modernity, and constructing social identity.
The book analyzes how Pentecostal Christianity has become a dominant force in shaping youth culture in Rwanda, particularly through gospel music and contemporary worship practices. Grant explores the tensions between traditional cultural expressions and modern religious movements, demonstrating how youth actively engage with both to create meaningful lives in post-conflict Rwanda. Through detailed ethnographic research, the work illuminates broader questions about globalization, religious identity, and cultural change in East Africa.
