Abstract	"This book analyzes socio-religious transformation in Tanzania. Some scholars claim that religion has returned to the public domain since the collapse of Tanzanian socialism, and that there is a tension between Muslims and Christians. Based on focus group discussions in Dar es Salaam, the author acquires insight into Muslim - Christian relations using Critical Discourse Analysis. He analyzes how Muslims and Christians identify and position themselves in relation to each other and the conditions which make them elevate their religious identity over other identities. The book reveals that some peripheral voices threaten social cohesion, but in general Muslims and Christians maintain friendly relations and avoid conflict. It also shows individualization or de-institutionalization as dominant trends in the country. However, educational institutions have remained strong and influence other institutions such as the family." (publisher's description).
