- Crossing Religious Boundaries is the culmination of work over a decade. It combines in-depth ethnography and theoretical innovation. Extended field research began in 2010, with follow-on visits in 2013 and 2017. Rather than concentrating on one religion, it investigates Islam, Christianity, and African Traditional Religion within a comparative frame. Studying religion from multiple perspectives, the monograph brings insights from anthropology, religious studies, philosophy, African studies, and urban studies into conversation. The scope of the work and the complexity of the ethnographic material that was hard to access in a 20-million megacity represent an exceptional academic investment.
