| Zusammenfassung: | This article focuses on Bretherton's treatment of Pentecostalism and Black Power and how they conceive and challenge notions of democracy, citizenship and capitalism. Recognising the tensional' relationship between democracy and Christianity, I explore his treatment of Pentecostalism and capitalism. I am sympathetic to Bretherton's analysis of the socio-political transformation Pentecostalism offers, but point to regressive influences associated with the prosperity gospel'. Relating his treatment of Black Power to the wider Black radical tradition', I conclude with reference to political activism in the UK. |
