Working against political and scholarly traditions that keep Muslims and Christians apart, the essays in this multidisciplinary volume locate African Muslims and Christians within a common analytical frame. In a series of historical and ethnographic case studies from across the African continent, the authors consider the multiple ways Muslims and Christians have encountered each other, borrowed or appropriated from one another, and sometimes also clashed. Contributors recast assumptions about the making and transgressing of religious boundaries, Christian-Muslim relations, and conversion. This engaging collection is a long overdue attempt to grapple with the multi-faceted and changing encounters of Muslims and Christians in Africa. 410 0$aIslam in Africa ;$v6. 606 $aChristianity$zAfrica$vCongresses 606 $aInterfaith relations 606 $aIslam$zAfrica$vCongresses 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChristianity 615 0$aInterfaith relations. 615 0$aIslam 676 $a261.2/7096 702 $aSoares$b Benjamin 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458423703321 996 $aMuslim-Christian Encounters in Africa$92582037 997 $aUNINA
