Book excerpt: Sakina is an embroidery artist growing up in the shanty town of Indian Nairobi, a railroad settlement in British East Africa in the early 1900s. At home there are many storytellers like her stepmother, grandfather and uncle whose stories blend into histories of India and East Africa that flare her child's imagination. In her tormented married life, while becoming a woman, Sakina finds comfort in the art of the beadwork of the Maasai.Bead Bai is one woman's story inspired by lives of Asian African women who sorted out, arranged and generally looked after huge quantities of ethnic beads in urban and isolated rural parts of the British East African Empire. The availability of wide varieties of beads and colours from the entrepreneurial Indian bead merchant reaching out to the most distant communities, heightened diverse vernacular expressions of body décor. Often it was the Bead Bai - the merchant's wife, mother and daughter, who handled beads that today comprise singularly the most significant material for maintenance of this feminine and indigenous art heritage of East Africa. This is a historical novel drawn from domestic and community lives evolving around women's art. Both are of considerable social and artistic values among two culturally unalike people living side by side as separate yet inter-reliant societies on the savannah. One object is the bandhani shawl of the Satpanth Ismailis, a trading settler Asian African community adhering austerely to a distinct faith tradition rooted in Sufism and Vedic beliefs that imbibed Sakina's spiritual life. The other is the emankeeki, a beaded neck to chest ornament of the Maasai, a pastoralist African people to whom the savannah is the ancestral home and source of their art, spirituality and well-being that Sakina came to value as a part her own life.Note: From the 1970s following the expulsion of Asians from Uganda, Satpanth Ismailis from East Africa began coming to the West, particularly to Canada, in large numbers. Many Bead Bais came with their families to the new country. Some lived through their senior years with their sons and daughters, and some died in nursing homes. Today their descendents live across the provinces of Canada and the greater Asian African diaspora.

Book Synopsis Rebuilding Community by : Shenila Khoja-Moolji
Download or read book Rebuilding Community written by Shenila Khoja-Moolji and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the twentieth century, Shia Ismaili Muslim communities were repeatedly displaced. How, in the aftermath of these displacements, did they remake their communities? Shenila Khoja-Moolji highlights women's critical role in this rebuilding process and breaks new ground by writing women into modern Ismaili history. Rebuilding Community tells the story of how Ismaili Muslim women who fled East Pakistan and East Africa in the 1970s recreated religious community (jamat) in North America. Drawing on oral histories, fieldwork, and memory texts, Khoja-Moolji illuminates the placemaking activities through which Ismaili women reproduce bonds of spiritual kinship: from cooking for congregants on feast days and looking after sick coreligionists to engaging in memory work through miracle stories and cookbooks. Khoja-Moolji situates these activities within the framework of ethical norms that more broadly define and sustain the Ismaili sociality. Jamat--and religious community more generally--is not a given, but an ethical relation that is maintained daily and intergenerationally through everyday acts of care. By emphasizing women's care work in producing relationality and repairing trauma, Khoja-Moolji disrupts the conventional articulation of displaced people as dependent subjects.

Download or read book Home Between Crossings written by Sultan Somjee and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's mid-twentieth century. Uprisings and nationalism shake Great Britain's East African Empire. It's the beginning of exoduses, expulsions and migrations of Asian Africans to Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia and generally to the West. Concurrently, dramatic changes in vernacular languages, styles of dressing and worship are happening among the Satpanth Khoja community. It's the pivotal moment in the history of this cloistered minority in Africa in the process of alteration of its traditions, and subsequently its identity. Moti Bai, the middle aged wife of a bead merchant on the savannah, feels confounded. She lives through the turmoil with the resilience of a mother questioning her children's shifting identity and the future. Where do we belong? Where will we go? Who are we now without a country? Without our language? Without our our traditions? When tormented by the compelling inner voices, Moti Bai seeks affirmation in the communal chanting of the Satpanth song. That was how her Khoja forefathers faced the turbulent voyage from India to Africa and then the strain of pioneer days by singing to the scared. She would talk to the bandhani, her wedding shawl and two other art objects of female decor. One is the Maasai beaded necklace. The other is a Swahili kanga gifted to her by grandmother Nana (also called the Mouth of Mombasa) to settle the family divided by religion and race. At heart, Moti Bai is an artist, a lover of sacred music, and of colours and patterns of the savannah. Her art objects lie hidden in her English suitcase under her bed. In them she reads the beauty of the landscape and vastness of the blue sky of Africa where she was born. Home Between Crossings carries an enthralling feminine voice spoken in Frame Story. The literary genre embeds Saurashtran Oral Traditions as spoken in homilies called waez in the jamat khana.
