Excellent- More about Islam in German East Africa, 1885–1918: A Genealogy of Colonial Religion
Jörg Haustein's book explores how German imperial agents misread Muslims in East Africa, with significant long-term effects. It offers a template for re-reading the colonial archive to recover Muslim agency beyond a European paradigm of religion.
Format: Hardback
Length: 435 pages

Publisher: Springer International Publishing AG
Jörg Haustein's comprehensive and nuanced deconstruction of German colonial engagement with Islam reveals how imperial agents in Germany's largest colony employed the knowledge category of Islam in diverse debates, spanning race, language, education, slavery, law, conflict, and war. These representations of "Mohammedanism," frequently invoked for specific political purposes, resulted in a profound misinterpretation of Muslims in East Africa, with far-reaching consequences. As the first in-depth account of the politics of Islam in German East Africa, Haustein's book makes a significant contribution to the history of religion in Tanzania prior to British rule. It also provides a valuable framework for re-examining the colonial archive, allowing for the recovery of Muslim agency beyond the European paradigm of religion.
