First sentence: This book on proselytization in Africa is part of a wider project addressing issues of conflict between competing claims to religious freedom, on the one hand, and "communal" self-determination, on the other, in the context of three regions of the world: Eastern Europe, Latin America, and Africa.
Description: "This probing collection of essays bring together a stellar group of Muslim and Christian, African and Western scholars. Together they explore the question, "Where does one community's right to commend itself to others leave off, and another community's right to be left alone begin?""--BOOK JACKET.
