The role of religion in post-colonial sub-Saharan Africa has been one of the most contentious issues in the contemporary era in light of pertinent concerns such as political stability, dictatorship, human rights, democracy, civil society, social justice, economic development, corruption as well as health. The three books try to look at how religion has tried to come to terms with most of these issues. In Holger Bernt Hansen and Michael Twaddle's Religion & Politics in East Africa, most articles discuss the interplay between religion and politics in East Africa, notably in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambique, Somalia and the Sudan by looking at Catholicism, 113 Protestantism, Islam
