Religion, Biopolitics and Modernity in South Africa

More about the book

The book explores the impact of Christian communities in South Africa on the lives of HIV-positive individuals and youth in the context of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. It examines how these communities have shaped perceptions of sexuality, medicine, and modernity, utilizing Foucault's theories and the sociology of knowledge to analyze the intersection of faith and health. Through this lens, it highlights the transformative role of religion in addressing the crisis and influencing broader societal attitudes.
