A Foundation for Life And the Next

'... it is a valuable contribution to the growing literature on pastoralism, conflict, environmental scarcity, and religion. Knighton takes a detailed and earnest look at neglected area and draws on a wealth of ecological data, interviews, secondary data, unpublished local sources, and long-term personal experiences. He emphasizes Karamojong’s strengths and dignity, which is often grossly underestimated even within their own region, and presents some of their weaknesses realistically. The book will be of particular relevance to those interested in peace building and conflict resolution and the role of the church in Karamojong in Northern Uganda. It includes a rich bibliography, which anyone researching the area would do well to use as a starting point.' African Affairs   'This is an important book.  I applaud the author's sympathetic, detailed, and critical study of Karamojong religion.  This monograph will be very useful for scholars in anthropology, religious studies, history, cultural studies, and mission studies.' International Bulletin of Missionary Research  'The book is the result of over 20 years of involvement with the Karamojong.  The book is ambitious, informative, profoundly sympathetic, well written [...], and the linguistic, historical, and anthropological expertise on show is staggeringly impressive... Knighton's familiarity with other scholars, of both Karamojong and related peoples, is remarkably extensive - and his engagement with them just as robust.' Journal of Contemporary Religion  'Knighton has asembled and analysed a vast amount of primary and secondary data from diverse sources; the text is thick with details, references and footnotes.  His use of linguistic analysis to derive meanings and sociohistorical relationships is especially rich and compelling... The Vitality of Karamojong Religion is a valuable book for scholars of African religion and East African pastoralists.' African History  ’This is an important book.  Amongst its other
