Summary |
In this volume, Barbara Cooper focuses on the Sudan Interior Mission (SIM). Her work is as much an ethnography of Christian conversion and worship as it is a close look into Muslim practices and attitudes about others. She is a marvelous storyteller and her work is laced with personal stories and vibrant details |
