Beschreibung:
This book explores the impact of indigenous ideology and thought on everyday life in Northeast Africa. It shows that for millennia complex indigenous institutions have bound people together beyond the labels of Christianity and Islam; they have sustained peace through cultural exchange and tolerance, if not always complete acceptance.
