| Research Abstract |
This study focuses on how religion and religious activities are becoming central in the private and public lives of Ethiopians, and how they provide alternative options for the Ethiopians to form personal networks outside their local, ethnic or regional communities, under a federal regime which attempts to maintain its control on the society by a divide-and-rule system. The project consists of anthropologists conducting research mainly in southern Ethiopia, where "pagans (non-Christian, non-Muslim)" predominate. On the one hand, under the current globalization, new trends are being introduced in Christianity and Islam, instigating conflict, and on the other hand, indigenous folk religion and veneration of spiritual beings are both reviving and proliferating.
