Cadence of Life

This book explores the multifaceted realities of religious conversion, challenging conventional notions of faith, identity, and change. Using sociological concepts of the study of every day and lived religion, it examines the lifestyles of the Adventist Massai in Arusha and Manyara. Guided by the multimodal approach, the study seeks to understand conversion from the Massai perspectives, highlighting their experiences of change, and the negotiations they undergo as reflected in their everyday practice and routines.
