This publication results from a series of dialogues on multiculturalism of Islamic communities at the Kenyan Coast organized by Twaweza Communications and the Goethe Institut – Kenya in 2016. The overall aim is to show the hybridity and ‘unities of difference’ along the Kenyan coast, which is predominantly Islamic. It explores art, language, literature, music, fashion, and religious expression to portray the continual nature of identity formation and cultural expression. The central argument is that identity is a process of becoming. It is always in formation. The publication incorporates essays in English and Kiswahili to point to the multilingual nature of coastal communities.
