Bridging African and Arab histories, this book examines the relationship between Islam, nationalism and the evolution of identity politics from late 19th Century to World War II. It provides a cross-national, cross-regional analysis of religious reform, nationalism, anti-colonialism and the intellectual and political networks between Zanzibar, Oman, Algeria, Egypt, Istanbul and the Levant.
