African Evangelical Zionism. Geopolitical Impact of a Narrative Identity

Résumé 0

Evangelicalism and African postcolonial prophetic Churches bring together at least 200 million believers in 2020. They are part of a transnational circulation nourished by Gospel music. Through this music, a Judeophilic sensitivity is expressed and carried by three vectors : the impact of Jewish heritage in Africa, the influence of American evangelical Zionism, and an African Zionism centered on the prophetic figure of Moses. These influences fuel a Judeophilic Afro-evangelical Zionism which develops different logics of impact. First, a popular Judeophilia identifiable in the material and ritual culture of the Churches. Then, a specific kind of Black Pride, mixed with Zionism, finally, support for the recognition of Israel.
