Abstract: | This special issue of the Canadian Journal of African Studies engages the theme of religious mobilisation on HIV/AIDS from multiple perspectives, situating religious activities in the space between overt political activities and anti-political development efforts. To do this, the contributors capitalise on the insights of the social movement literature, such as its emphasis on resources, political opportunities, identities, and framing, in order to better assess religious responses to the disease. Contributions: Marian Burchardt, Amy S. Patterson, Louise Mubanda Rasmussen: The politics and anti-politics of social movements: religion and HIV/AIDS in Africa; Patricia Siplon: Can charity and rights-based movements be allies in the fight against HIV/AIDS? Bridging mobilisations in the United States and sub-Saharan Africa; Amy S. Patterson: Pastors as leaders in Africa's religious AIDS mobilisation: cases from Ghana and Zambia. Louise Mubanda Rasmussen: 'To donors, it's a program, but to us it's a ministry': the effects of donor funding on a community-based Catholic HIV/AIDS initiative in Kampala; Rebecca J. Vander Meulen, Amy S. Patterson, Marian Burchardt: HIV/AIDS activism, framing and identity formation in Mozambique's 'Equipas de Vida'; Alessandro Gusman: The abstinence campaign and the construction of the Balokole identity in the Ugandan Pentecostal movement; Anusa Daimon: Yao migrant communities, identity construction and social mobilisation against HIV and AIDS through circumcision schools in Zimbabwe.
