American and Danish philosophers and anthropologists critically discuss Danish philosopher and theologian Knud Ejler L<'/o>gstrup's (1905-81) theory of trust. Among their topics are practical philosophy and hope as a moral project among African-Americans, the reopening of the gate of effort: existential imperatives at the margins of a globalized world, distrust as a point of departure and trust and a social achievement in Uganda, trust in an age of inauthenticity: power and Indonesian modernity, and Kierkegaard in West Africa: hope and sacrifice in a Ghanaian fishing village.
