""This is a highly original work, a signal contribution not only to the emerging field of Ibadi studies, but also to students and scholars of Islamic, African, and Middle Eastern studies. ... Wortmann demonstrates familiarity with a wide range of scholarship and considers multiple factors in her analysis, including history, language, ethnicity, nationalism, education, social structure, the function of charitable associations, and economics." - Valerie Hoffman, author of The Essentials of Ibadi Islam. "This is a major contribution to understanding contemporary Ibadi society in Tanzania and how it remains shaped by cross-regional networks of belonging.
