This ground breaking book is essential reading for students and scholars seeking a deeper understanding of resistance, power, and agency.
What if revival in the Global South was not only a spiritual awakening but a quiet revolution from the margins The author opens a fresh conversation about faith, power, and agency by uncovering how marginalised communities used faith as a powerful means to reclaim dignity, identity, and power in the face of colonial and ecclesiastical domination.
For generations, revival movements have been narrated through the voices of missionaries, institutions, and dominant powers. But what happens when the story is told from the margins This book compels us to rethink the very meaning of revival. This is revival as history rarely tells it from below. Revival was never only about prayer it was also about power. By reading this book, listen to the voices history tried to silence.
