Women of Fire and Spirit: Faith, History, and Gender in Roho Religion in Western Kenya
Hoehler-Fatton, Cynthia (Lecturer in Afro-American and African Studies, Lecturer in Afro-American and African Studies, University of Virginia)
This is the first extensive study of the African Christian Roho religion, or Holy Spirit movement, in Western Kenya. Hoehler-Fatton uses extensive oral histories and life narratives to provide a counterweight to existing historical literature, and also brings to the fore the role of women in the evolution and expansion of the Church.
