Catholic Pentecostalism and the Paradoxes of Africanization - Processes of Localization in a Catholic Charismatic Movement in Cameroon

Through an ethnographic study of a Charismatic movement in Cameroon and Paris, the book explores the dialectics between a ~Pentecostalizationa (TM) and a ~Africanizationa (TM) within contemporary African Catholicism. It appears that both processes pursue, although for different purposes, the missionary policy of dismantling local cultures.
