Entre les bras du cheikh
Les princes du désert Une haute stature, de splendides yeux noirs, un charisme fou... Parmi la foule qui se presse à cette réception, Irene ne voit que lui : Sharif Al-Aktoum. Pourtant, quand il lui demande de passer la soirée avec lui, elle refuse fermement. N’a-t-elle pas appris de la pire des façons à se méfier des séducteurs de son espèce ? Mais Sharif ne semble pas être le genre d’homme à accepter un refus, et quand il lui propose, quelques jours plus tard, un poste dans son palais, Irene sait qu’elle ne peut plus fuir. Pour aider sa famille, elle a désespérément besoin de cet emploi. Le cœur serré, elle se résout à accepter l’offre du cheikh, tout en sachant qu’elle prend un risque insensé : en vivant sous le même toit que Sharif, parviendra-t-elle à ignorer les élans de son cœur ?
Social Memory, Silenced Voices, and Political Struggle
This volume focuses on the cultural memory and mediation of the 1964 Zanzibar revolution, analyzing it’s continuing reverberations in everyday life. The revolution constructed new conceptions of community and identity, race and cultural belonging, as well as instituting different ideals of nationhood, citizenship, sovereignty.

Between Social Skills and Marketable Skills
The present volume is a pioneering study of the development of Islamic traditions of learning in 20th century Zanzibar and the role of Muslim scholars in society and politics, based on extensive fieldwork and archival research in Zanzibar (2001-2007). The volume highlights the dynamics of Muslim traditions of reform in pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial Zanzibar, focussing on the contribution of Sufi scholars (Q diriyya, Alawiyya) as well as Muslim reformers (modernists, activists, an r al-sunna) to Islamic education. It examines several types of Islamic schools (Qur nic schools, mad ris and Islamic institutes ) as well as the emergence of the discipline of Islamic Religious Instruction in colonial government schools. The volume argues that dynamics of cooperation between religious scholars and the British administration defined both form and content of Islamic education in the colonial period (1890-1963). The revolution of 1964 led to the marginalization of established traditions of Islamic education and encouraged the development of Muslim activist movements which have started to challenge state informed institutions of learning.

Language and Collective Mobilization
Language and Collective Mobilization analyzes the origins of communal conflict in five phases of Zanzibar's modern history. The first phase examines the implementation of British colonial control, focusing on the conversion of Zanzibar's subsistence farming economy to a cash-crop plantation complex.This first phase of colonial rule disrupted a variety of indigenous political and social institutions which traditionally promoted peace and stability. During subsequent phases of colonial rule, the British government devised political, economic and educational policies that promoted elite Arab rule at the expense of the majority Swahili- speaking population. Colonial authorities rendered illegal ...
