About this product
Product Information
Focusing on the growing transnational community of Ismailis (Muslim Shi'a followers of the Aga Khan), this study analyzes the transnational and cultural characteristics of the Ismaili social service network in the context of state/society relations. There are approximately 20 million Ismailis worldwide in over 20 countries throughout the world, and they have developed--under the auspices of the Aga Khan--a sophisticated private sector nonprofit social service network of hospitals and schools that serves the health care and education needs of Ismailis and non-Ismailis. Based on research and interviews conducted in Europe and Africa from 1992-1995, this study shows how a strong society can contribute significantly to the social service goals of developing nations. It also provides information on the Ismailis of Tanzania which has not previously been available in the west, and so will be of interest to scholars of comparative politics, religious, development theory, and African Studies.

"The research is extraordinary; the author succeeded where others have failed in gaining access to the international, national, and local Ismaili records on health care and education in Tanzania. He also interviewed more than one hundred Ismaili and African leaders and examined pertinent government records in the Tanzanian archives." -- The International Journal of African Historical Studies, "The research is extraordinary; the author succeeded where others have failed in gaining access to the international, national, and local Ismaili records on health care and education in Tanzania.

A pleasant overall experience! They had a rather hard-to-find book on Persian calligraphy for a good price and free shipping. The status said shipped before any tracking was uploaded so I messaged them the next day to ask them to provide a tracking number. They never responded, but tracking was added to my eBay details that night. It took about five days to get here to Los Angeles from LaVergne, Tennessee and came in a strong, secure envelope. The book was in good condition and as described.
