{"product_id":"9783031274220","title":"Islam in German East Africa, 1885-1918 : A Genealogy of Colonial Religion by Jorg Haustein","description":"In this rich and multi-layered deconstruction of German colonial engagement with Islam, J?rg Haustein shows how imperial agents in Germany's largest colony wielded the knowledge category of Islam in a broad set of debates, ranging from race, language, and education to slavery, law, conflict, and war. 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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56310698279285,"sku":"9783031274220","price":119.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9783031274220.jpg?v=1762814937","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9783031274220","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
