" Moving by the Spirit is a fantastic book. In the best tradition of work on the Zambian Copperbelt, Naomi Haynes gives us an up-to-date account of the literature's enduring themes, including how urbanization, economic development, and modernity are faring in the post colony. To this all, though, she adds her distinct voice, insisting--respectfully, yet with conviction--that we take better stock of the world we find there, where women, faith, and enchanted aspirations play a significant role."--Matthew Engelke, London School of Economics "This detailed ethnography of life in Pentecostal communities on the Zambian Copperbelt offers a close view and a meaningful appreciation of both leaders and members, especially with respect to the concepts of charisma and prosperity. Haynes reaches into the anthropological literature, and the people's own actions and experiences, to address the question 'If this study is concerned with the good, how do we know what that is?'This is a very rich case study of what has become a growing movement in the wider world."--Jane I. Guyer, Professora Emerita of Anthropology, Johns Hopkins University.
