商品描述

In this rich and multi-layered deconstruction of German colonial engagement with Islam, Jörg 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.


商品描述(中文翻譯)

在這部對德國殖民與伊斯蘭關係的豐富且多層次的解構中,約爾格·豪斯坦(Jörg Haustein)展示了德國最大殖民地的帝國代理人如何在一系列廣泛的辯論中運用伊斯蘭的知識範疇,這些辯論涵蓋了種族、語言、教育、奴隸制、法律、衝突和戰爭等議題。這些對「穆罕默德主義」(Mohammedanism)的表述,常常是為了特定的政治目的而引用,實際上對東非穆斯林的理解造成了嚴重的誤讀,並產生了重大的長期影響。作為德國東非伊斯蘭政治的首部深入研究,本書對英國統治前坦尚尼亞的宗教歷史做出了重要貢獻。它還提供了一種重新解讀殖民檔案的範本,旨在超越歐洲宗教範式,恢復穆斯林的主體性。
