Résumé

This talk will explore how the Omani diaspora in Tanzania has articulated Ibadi Muslim identity in the decades since the 1964 Zanzibar revolution. It will show that Ibadi leaders draw on a rhetoric of Muslim unity and religious tolerance to publicly demonstrate the inclusivity of contemporary Ibadism while also showing the limits of inclusion by defining communal identity along ethnic and religious lines.
