Product description

This is the Portuguese translation of Aliaa Remtilla, Experiences of the Jamatkhana: Stories of the East African Jamat

Delving into the captivating story of Ismaili communities in the East African countries of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, Aliaa Remtilla offers a compelling social narrative as seen through the lens of her own family. Across these lands, Jamatkhanas evolved as sacred spaces of piety, practice and social gathering, reflecting the aspirations and communal spirit of the Ismaili Jamat. As the Ismaili diaspora spread, Jamatkhanas remained essential focal points in new lands, providing strength, succour and solace in changing times.

The author charts her rediscovery of the origins of the East African Jamats, the emergence of community infrastructures and the building of Jamatkhanas during the Imamats of Mawlana Sultan Mahomed Shah, Aga Khan III, and Mawlana Shah Karim al-Husayni, Aga Khan IV. Recounting journeys of migration, including under the very challenging circumstances of the Ugandan expulsion and Tanzanian exodus, she invites readers to explore the evolving role of Jamati institutions that continue to support the Ismaili community.

This illustrated rendering of East African Ismaili history from the 19th century to the present day spotlights the rich heritage of Jamatkhanas as pillars of the Ismaili community. It will appeal to Ismailis worldwide, weaving together stories of faith, resilience and unity.

Descri莽茫o em portugu锚s

Ao mergulhar na cativante hist贸ria das comunidades ismailis nos pa铆ses da 脕frica Oriental (Qu茅nia, Uganda e Tanz芒nia), Aliaa Remtilla apresenta uma narrativa social envolvente, vista atrav茅s da perspetiva da sua pr贸pria fam铆lia. Nestes pa铆ses, os Jamatkhanas evolu铆ram como espa莽os sagrados de piedade, pr谩tica religiosa e conv铆vio social, refletindo as aspira莽玫es e o esp铆rito comunit谩rio do Jamat ismaili. 脌 medida que a di谩spora ismaili se foi espalhando, os Jamatkhanas continuaram a ser os pontos de refer锚ncia essenciais nas novas terras, proporcionando for莽a, apoio e consolo em tempos de mudan莽a.

A autora descreve a sua redescoberta das origens dos Jamats da 脕frica Oriental, bem como o surgimento das infraestruturas comunit谩rias e a constru莽茫o dos Jamatkhanas durante os Imamats de Mawlana Sultan Mahomed Shah, Aga Khan III, e de Mawlana Shah Karim al-Husayni, Aga Khan IV. Ao relatar as viagens de migra莽茫o, incluindo as que ocorreram nas circunst芒ncias extremamente dif铆ceis da expuls茫o do Uganda e do 锚xodo da Tanz芒nia, a autora convida os leitores a explorarem a evolu莽茫o do papel das institui莽玫es do Jamat que continuam a apoiar a comunidade ismaili.

Esta representa莽茫o ilustrada da hist贸ria ismaili na 脕frica Oriental, desde o s茅culo XIX at茅 aos nossos dias, destaca o rico legado dos Jamatkhanas enquanto pilares da comunidade ismaili. Entrela莽ando hist贸rias de f茅, de resili锚ncia e de unidade, ir谩 certamente cativar os Ismailis de todo o mundo.
