Recent studies of Muslims in Kenya and Tanzania have tended either to examine governance of Muslims in relation to security issues, or to discuss the reforms attempted within communities and their implications for Muslim theology, rituals and general welfare. Both these approaches are covered in this book, and a third is added the study of Muslims as citizens or residents of their respective countries, looking at their activities and attitudes in relation to the various challenges they face together with their fellow compatriots and citizens.

Industry Reviews

This volume focuses on politics, institutions and law in Islamic East Africa. By adopting a broad and multidisciplinary approach at both the macro and micro level, we are given new and sometimes surprising insights into changing relations between the state and Islam. A very welcome addition to the literature.

--Pat Caplan, Goldsmiths, University of London

This volume unites contributions by both Western academics as well as Kenyan/Tanzanian academics and bridges the North-South-divide in academic research. It is far ahead of current scholarship and will add considerably to the established wisdom.

--Roman Loimeier, University of G?ttingen
