In this rich and multi-layered deconstruction of German colonial engagement with Islam, Jrg Haustein shows how imperial agents in Germanys largest colony wielded the knowledge category of Islam in a broad set of debates, ranging from race, language, and education to slavery, law, conflict, and war. These representations of Mohammedanism, often invoked for particular political ends, amounted to a serious misreading of Muslims in East Africa, with significant long-term effects. As the first in-depth account of the politics of Islam in German East Africa, the book makes an essential contribution to the history of religion in Tanzania before British rule. It also offers a template for re-reading the colonial archive in a manner that recovers Muslim agency beyond a European paradigm of religion. Jrg Haustein is Associate Professor of World Christianity at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow of Selwyn College, Cambridge. Previously, he has taught at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London and the University of Heidelberg in Germany. He is a scholar of religion in Africa from the nineteenth century onward, specializing in Pentecostal Christianity, colonial Islam, and the intersection of religion and development.

This article examines the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) framework as a political project in tension with its universal and multilateral aspirations to serve as a counterbalance to narrow populist visions increasingly dominating global politics. Building upon Laclau and Mouffe's theory of populism and their notion of 'radical democracy', we conceptualise the SDGs as a struggle for hegemony and in competition with other styles of politics, over what counts as 'development'. This hegemonial struggle plays out in the attempts to form political constituencies behind developmental slogans, and it is here that religious actors come to the fore, given their already established role in organising communities, expressing values and aspirations, and articulating visions of the future. Examining how the SDG process has engaged with faith actors in India and Ethiopia, as well as how the Indian and Ethiopian states have engaged with religion in defining development, we argue that a 'radical democracy' of sustainable development requires a more intentional effort at integrating religious actors in the implementation of the SDGs.

Das Ringen um die Anerkennung der Religionsfreiheit als allgemeines Menschenrecht ist ein zentrales Kapitel der abendländischen Kultur- und Religionsgeschichte. Es hat als Thema des Umgangs mit dem Fremden und Anderen seine Wurzeln im Alten und Neuen Testament. Neben den Katharern, Albigensern, Hussiten und Böhmischen Brüdern sind die Waldenser die bekannteste Bewegung der Reformationszeit, denen eine Anerkennung durch die römische Kirche verweigert wurde. Sie wurden zum Symbol schwerster Verfolgung durch die Jahrhunderte und zugleich zum Vorbild für einen Kampf um Gewissens- und Religionsfreiheit. Dieser Band, der eine gemeinsame Tagung des Melanchthonhauses in Bretten, des Evangelischen Bundes und des Gustav-Adolf-Werkes im Rahmen des Waldenserjubiläums 1999 dokumentiert, verbindet die Darstellung historischer Entwicklungen, Hürden und Fragestellungen mit der Diskussion zu modernen Herausforderungen des Asylrechts und zum Umgang mit fremden Kulturen, Konfessionen und Religionen. - Der Umgang mit den Anderen und Fremden in Kirche und Gesellschaft ist ein brennend aktuelles Thema. Große Schuld, aber auch mutiges Eintreten für Gewissens- und Religionsfreiheit, sind aus diesem Kapitel der Christentumsgeschichte erkennbar.
