“Zanzibar’s Joint Committee of Religious Leaders for Peace is one of the most interesting and creative inter-religious initiatives for peace that has emerged in a Muslim-majority context in recent years. This book tells the story of its genesis, activities, and impact, locally and more widely across Africa, clearly and comprehensively.” —Hugh Goddard, Professor at the University of Edinburgh “Arngeir Langås, in his perceptive and well-researched study Peace in Zanzibar, portrays the emergence and work of the Joint Committee of Religious Leaders for Peace in Zanzibar. Set against the complex and oftentimes strained modalities of interreligious co-existence in Zanzibar, Langås makes a convincing case that the diapraxis model, as developed by this interfaith joint committee, offers potential in bringing religious communities together to work towards a common future.” —Martha Frederiks, Professor at Utrecht University
