Chapter Four. Islamic Education In Zanzibar
This chapter starts with a presentation of some major characteristics of Islamic education from a conceptual perspective, and then proceeds to major trends of Islamic education in history, taking India and Egypt as examples. India and Egypt have been chosen since initiatives of reform in these countries had model character for many Muslim societies from the 18th century onward, and have consequently influenced the course of Islamic education in E…

Chapter Three. Traditions Of Reform, Reforms Of Tradition
This chapter focuses on the 'actors' in Zanzibar's intellectual and religious history. It presents the development of Islamic education in Zanzibar from pre-colonial to colonial and post-colonial times in more institutional terms. The chapter outlines the major features of 'Islamic reform' in East Africa, before each tradition of reform is presented individually, first the Qādiriyya, then ‘Alawī scholarly networks, then the emergence of a Salafīy…
Chapter One. Introduction, The Negotiation Of Islam In Africa
Muslim societies in sub-Saharan Africa as elsewhere in the Muslim world have been characterized by their staggering diversity, not only with respect to different cultural expressions of 'Islamicite', but also vastly different historical experiences, their variegated integration into different regional geographic settings as well as the dynamics of interaction with Christian, Jewish and other religious traditions. This introductory chapter of the …
Chapter Seven. The Politics Of Education In The Colonial Period III
This chapter discusses the development of teacher training and staff recruitment. It focuses on the relationship among teachers, both English and local, and presents major themes in respect of colonial careers through a number of case studies. The chapter then describes two of Zanzibar's best known scholars and colonial teachers, Abdallāh Ṣāliḥ al-Farsy and Sayyid Umar Abdallāh in order to show how Zanzibari scholars negotiated their position wit…
Chapter Nine. The Politics Of Islamic Education In Revolutionary Zanzibar
The representation of Zanzibar's post-revolutionary history has been influenced since 1964 by a 'civil war of memories' between the supporters of the revolution and its opponents and victims (Loimeier 2006c). Supporters of the revolution contextualize anti-religious policies as being part of a larger policy of 'Africanization', or even completely deny any anti-religious acts. This chapter presents established wisdom about the policies of the revo…

Chapter Ten. Conclusion
'Islamic' concepts of education not only reflect Muslim concepts of societal organization but often also transport a critique of existing religio-political structures. Demands for reforms in Islamic education thus form part and parcel of larger strategies of Islamic reform and a Muslim critique of the 'secular state', both colonial and post-colonial. The concepts of modern Islamic education as presented in Zanzibar by representatives of Islamic m…
Chapter Five. The Politics Of Education In The Colonial Period I
This chapter shows the development of education in Zanzibar was characterized by fierce competition between different types of schools and their respective 'philosophies': the mission schools, the Indian schools, the government schools and the Qurʾānic schools. The mission schools, which offered a Christian educational programme, soon lost out in a social context in which Christianity represented a foreign and colonial episteme. The Indian school…
Chapter Two. Zanzibar
The history of the East African coast and Zanzibar in particular has been the topic of many authoritative texts. The historical context of Zanzibar's development from the late 19th century to the early 21st century forms the focus of this chapter. The chapter presents the history of Zanzibar under the Sultanate of Oman in the 19th century, a more extensive analysis of the colonial framework of Zanzibar's political development under the British Pr…
Chapter Eight. The Muslim Academy
A major factor in the development of modern Islamic education in Zanzibar was the establishment of the Muslim Academy. The history of the Muslim Academy presented in this chapter can be divided thus into three distinct stages: genesis and foundation from the late 1940s up to 1954, a period of routinization under Sayyid Umar Abdallāh from 1954 to 1964, and a new start in the early 1970s as an 'Islamic school' (Chuo Cha Kiislamu) that was supposed …
Chapter Six. The Politics Of Education In The Colonial Period II
Although problems of syllabus development constitute the focus of this chapter, politics of education and the development of education in colonial times were also influenced by a number of related issues such as the introduction of the Latin script, the question as to how to come to terms with the Qurʾānic schools. The introduction of Kizungu ('European', 'White') ways and the imposition of Swahili in the Latin script torpedoed early efforts to d…
