Publisher's Synopsis

This volume challenges established ideas about 'the world of Swahili', proposing a perspective that highlights the transitory, shifting, and plural character of East African coastal societies, worldviews, and identities. The contributors give accounts of the spectrum of local perceptions of the world in the wider Swahili context.
