Beschreibung
This book looks at the relationship between religion and
state in Tanzania as a feature of the Tanzanian social scene
from pre-colonial and colonial to post colonial times. The
authors examine the changes in the character of religion and
state relations, especially after independence, and the way
these changes are experienced in different communities
(particularly by African traditionalists, Muslims and
Christians). The book studies the nature of the relationship
between religion and state, the way it is conceptualised and
experienced, and the implications for the democratic
aspirations of pluralist Tanzania.
