520    In recent years, anthropologists, historians, and others 
       have been drawn to study the profuse and creative usages 
       of digital media by religious movements. At the same time,
       scholars of Christian Africa have long been concerned with
       the history of textual culture, the politics of Bible 
       translation, and the status of the vernacular in 
       Christianity. Students of Islam in Africa have similarly 
       examined politics of knowledge, the transmission of 
       learning in written form, and the influence of new media. 
       Until now, however, these arenas--Christianity and Islam, 
       digital media and "old" media--have been studied 
       separately. Religion, Media, and Marginality in Modern 
       Africa is one of the first volumes to put new media and 
       old media into significant conversation with one another, 
       and also offers a rare comparison between Christianity and
       Islam in Africa. The contributors find many previously 
       unacknowledged correspondences among different media and 
       between the two faiths. In the process they challenge the 
       technological determinism--the notion that certain types 
       of media generate particular forms of religious expression
       --that haunts many studies. In evaluating how media usage 
       and religious commitment intersect in the social, cultural,
       and political landscapes of modern Africa, this collection
       will contribute to the development of new paradigms for 
       media and religious studies.--Publisher's summary.
