商品簡介
Though Tanzania is often called a haven of peace, says Ndaluka (sociology and anthropology, U. of Dar es Salaam), it has for some decades harbored seeds of Christian-Muslim conflict. Using the socio-cognitive approach to discourse analysis, he examines relationships between Muslims and Christians in the east African country, particularly social identity transformation through inter-religious relations at the individual, institutional, and societal levels. After setting the historical stage, he discusses how Muslims speak about Christians, and how Christians speak about Muslims, how Muslims and Christians speak to each other, and Muslim-Christian relations in Tanzania. He has not indexed his study. Distributed in North America by ISBS. Annotation c2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
