  • Description: [...]criminals in Cape Town submit to “affective conversion” to become born-again Christians in response to Pentecostal “crusades.” The Gaborone chapter dwells on the interface between religiosity and education among the middle-class residents, which is often characterized by tension relating to marriage, gender relations, and ties to family members who remain in the countryside. Overall, however, this anthology is a welcome addition to the body of migration literature that has tended to center on material conditions as the underlying driving force of the movement.
