This work analyzes how a disputed political partnership between Zanzibar and Mainland Tanzania intersects with the construction of religious identities.    Undertaken at a time of political tensions, the case study of Zanzibar’s largest Pentecostal church, the City Christian Center, outlines religious belonging as relationally filtered in-between experiences of social insecurity, altered minority \/ majority positions, and spiritual powers. Hans Olsson shows that Pentecostal Christianity, as a signifier of (un)wanted social change, exemplifies contested processes of becoming in Zanzibar that capitalizes on, and creates meaning out of, religious difference and ambient political tensions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements  Abbreviations  List of Figures  Swahili Glossary    1 Introduction   1 Pentecostal Christianity in Africa   2 A Relational Approach   3 Fieldwork    2 The Scene   1 The Swahili Coast, Zanzibar, and Struggles for Belonging   2 Uamsho: Islamic Awakening   3 Christianity in Zanzibar    3 The Migrant   1 The Precarious Search for a Better Life   2 Becoming Saved   3 Salvation and the Good Life    4 The Church   1 The Pastor   2 Spiritual Kin   3 A Vital Participation?    5 The Public   1 The CCC Goes Public   2 Violence   3 The Quest to Make Public    6 The Union   1 Pentecostal Approaches to the Union   2 Christianity, Islam, and the Secular Union   3 The Union and Religious Difference    7 Narratives of Pentecostal (Non-)Belonging   1 Pentecostal Christianity as a Second Culture   2 Temporalities, Shifting Statuses, and the Impact of Mission   3 “Jesus for Zanzibar”  Bibliography   Interview List: Members of the City Christian Center   Other Interviews   Sermons   Cited Material","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210779615575,"sku":"9789004406810","price":168.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/jesus-for-zanzibar-narratives-of-pentecostal-non-belonging-islam-and-nation-9789004406810","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
