These representations of ?Mohammedanism?, often invoked for particular political ends, amounted to a serious misreading of Muslims in East Africa, with significant long-term effects. As the first in-depth account of the politics of Islam in German East Africa, the book makes an essential contribution to the history of religion in Tanzania before British rule. It also offers a template for re-reading the colonial archive in a manner that recovers Muslim agency beyond a European paradigm of religion. Jörg Haustein is Associate Professor of World Christianity at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Selwyn College, Cambridge. Previously, he has taught at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London and the University of Heidelberg in Germany. He is a scholar of religion in Africa from the nineteenth century onward, specializing in Pentecostal Christianity, colonial Islam, and the intersection of religion and development. 410 0$aCambridge Imperial and Post-Colonial Studies,$x2635-1641 606 $aImperialism 606 $aReligion$xHistory 606 $aIslam$xHistory 606 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory 606 $aEurope, Central$xHistory 606 $aAfrica$xHistory 606 $aImperialism and Colonialism 606 $aHistory of Religion 606 $aIslamic History 606 $aHistory of Sub-Saharan Africa 606 $aHistory of Germany and Central Europe 606 $aAfrican History 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aReligion$xHistory. 615 0$aIslam$xHistory. 615 0$aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope, Central$xHistory. 615 0$aAfrica$xHistory. 615 14$aImperialism and Colonialism. 615 24$aHistory of Religion. 615 24$aIslamic History. 615 24$aHistory of Sub-Saharan Africa. 615 24$aHistory of Germany and Central Europe. 615 24$aAfrican History. 676 $a297.0967609034 676 $a960 676 $a297.0967609034 700 $aHaustein$b Jörg$01373289 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910734828003321 996 $aIslam in German East Africa, 1885?1918$94451823 997 $aUNINA
