FROM THE PUBLISHER-‘Among the African peoples, the Swahili are unique in at least one respect, for, it is about them more than any other people, that the question is perennially asked: who are the Swahili. The answer that the authors provide to this staple of scholarship about East Africa is subtle, complex, well-informed and may prove decisive in settling such interrogations. For the perspectives they bring to bear upon this vexing question are original, wide-ranging and persuasive. '-Aijaz Ahmad, Professorial Fellow, Nehru Memorial Museum and Library, New Delhi. ‘In this work, Professors Ibrahim Noor Shariff and Alamin M. Mazrui have combined their native understanding of Swahili culture, language and people with a meticulous research methodology: the result is a pioneering study that will be of inestimable value alike to policy makers in the region. This is must reading as well to the Africanist community in Europe and North America. '-Said S. Samatar, Professor of History, Rutgers University. inventory #46074.
