Renewers Of The Age - Holy Men And Social Discourse In Colonial Benaadir

de Scott Reese

200,08€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Studies of nineteenth and twentieth century Islamic reform have tended to focus more on the evolution of ideas than how those ideas emerge from local contexts or are disseminated to a broad audience. Using the urban culture of southern Somalia, known as the Benaadir, this book explores the role of local ?ulama? as popular intellectuals in the early colonial period. Drawing on locally compiled hagiographies, religious poetry and Sufi manuals, it examines the place of religious discourse as social discourse and how religious leaders sought to guide society through a time of troubles through calls to greater piety but also by exhorting believers to examine their lives in the hopes of bringing society into line with their image of a proper Islamic society.

Between Social Skills And Marketable Skills - The Politics Of Islamic Education In 20th Century Zanzibar

de Roman Loimeier

473,03€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The present volume is a pioneering study of the development of Islamic traditions of learning in 20th century Zanzibar and the role of Muslim scholars in society and politics, based on extensive fieldwork and archival research in Zanzibar (2001-2007). The volume highlights the dynamics of Muslim traditions of reform in pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial Zanzibar, focussing on the contribution of Sufi scholars (Qadiriyya, ?Alawiyya) as well as Muslim reformers (modernists, activists, ansar al-sunna) to Islamic education. It examines several types of Islamic schools (Qur?anic schools, madaris and "Islamic institutes") as well as the emergence of the discipline of "Islamic Religious Instruction" in colonial government schools. The volume argues that dynamics of cooperation between religious scholars and the British administration defined both form and content of Islamic education in the colonial period (1890-1963). The revolution of 1964 led to the marginalization of established traditions of Islamic education and encouraged the development of Muslim activist movements which have started to challenge state informed institutions of learning.

Islam And Colonialism - Intellectual Responses Of Muslims Of Northern Nigeria To British Colonial Rule

de Muhammad Umar

247,78€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This volume analyzes discourses on British colonialism constructed by Muslims of northern Nigeria c. 1903-1945. It departs from the conventional wisdom on British colonial policy of indirect rule and its "benign" consequences. Conceptualizing colonialism not simply as a unilateral imposition but as a dynamic encounter between colonizer and colonized, the book shifts the focus away from the overwhelming impact of the former and devastating consequences on the later, thereby revealing indeterminate outcomes and unintended consequences of both the actions of the colonizer and the reactions of the colonized. The volume analyzes legal treatises, poems, and novels, connecting authors to their intellectual backgrounds, relations to colonial regime and intended audiences, leading to better understanding of the ideas that informed Muslims' intellectual and practical responses to colonialism.

Sayyid ?Abd Al-Rahman Al-Mahdi - A Study Of Neo-Mahdism In The Sudan, 1899-1956

de Hassan Ibrahim

233,20€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This is a pioneering scholarly study of the colourful career of Sayyid ?Abd al-Rahman al-Mahdi and his brainchild Neo-Mahdism. It explains his calculative strife to deal with the British onslaught on his father's Mahdiyya, and to gradually attain the essence of its political and religious mission. The discourse contests the long held presumption of ?Abd al-Rahman's subservience to Britain, and portray's him as the architect of national independence, and the Sudan's most towering celebrity in the 20th century. It highlights al-Sayyid's mastery of manipulation that perplexed, occasionally paralysed, British and Egyptian policy makers, and explores his attempts to establish an inclusive religious and political system. The book is important to scholars of Africa, the Middle East and Islamic revivalism. It may trigger revisits to similar leaders whose images could have likewise been unfairly tarnished.

 In a series of essays this collected volume challenges much of the conventional wisdom regarding the intellectual history of Muslim Africa. Ranging from the libraries of Early Modern Mauritania and Timbuktu to mosque lectures in contemporary Mombasa the contributors to this collection overturn many commonly accepted assumptions about Africa's Muslim learned classes. Rather than isolated, backward and out of touch, the essays in this volume reveal Muslim intellectuals as not only well aware of the intellectual currents of the wider Islamic world but also caring deeply about the issues facing their communities.

Makran, Oman And Zanzibar - Three-Terminal Cultural Corridor In The Western Indian Ocean (1799-1856)

de Beatrice Nicolini

204,05€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Winner of the Society for Arabian Studies Grant in 2003. This study examines a view 'from outside' of the three terminals: Makran, Muscat and Zanzibar which is a partial one in the history of the western Indian Ocean. Such themes are, however, essential when viewed against the background of Anglo-French rivalry in the Gulf and Indian Ocean during the first half of the nineteenth century, and are central to numerous debates. The methodological perspective, therefore, whilst concerned with oriental figures and events, is still largely based on sources in western languages precisely because it concentrates on the relations between Sa? id bin Sultan Al Bu Sa? idi (r. 1806-1856), the Arab-Omani sovereign of Muscat and Zanzibar, and Europe, and on Baluch presence in Oman and in East Africa.

Muslim Modernity In Postcolonial Nigeria - A Study Of The Society For The Removal Of Innovation And Reinstatement Of Tradition

de Ousmane Kane

247,78€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book deals with Muslim modernity in a country with the largest single Muslim population in Sub-Saharan Africa. It provides much needed new grounds for comparative study. Until now, virtually all socio-anthropological works about any specific African country are either authored by nationals of that country or by Western scholars. This book is an exception because its author is an Islamicist and a social scientist from Senegal trained in the French social science tradition. Therefore, his work does offer an original perspective in the study of Nigeria. In addition, the study of Islam south of the Sahara has so far focused on Sufi orders, which form the mainstream of Islam, but which by no means, covers the whole Islamic field; socalled Islamic fundamentalist movements are also part of the religious landscape.This book is devoted to the study of the largest single Muslim fundamentalist organization in postcolonial Sub-Saharan Africa, the Society for the Removal of Innovation and Reinstatement of Tradition.

Sciences Et Confreries Soufies Au Senegal - Approches Nouvelles De La Violence Et De La Democratie

de El Hadji Samba Amadou Diallo

194,78€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 L'islam ouest-africain compte plusieurs confreries soufies notamment au Nord-Nigeria, au Niger et au Senegal, des pays ou la Tijaniyya occupe une place importante dans la sphere publique. Dans la premiere partie de ce livre, par une perspective comparatiste utilisant les concepts de democratie, de laicite, de domination et de violence, l'auteur montre comment ceux-ci sont deployes au niveau local surtout dans le champ politique senegalais. Dans une deuxieme, il s'engage dans un decryptage des relations complexes entre religion et politique dans le Senegal des deux regimes d'alternance, utilisant alors une approche bourdieusienne de la domination. Mais des marabouts interviennent aussi pour arreter les projets de personnalisation du pouvoir central. Leur intervention politique sous forme d'appel a la non-violence parvient jusque-la a stabiliser le Senegal. West African Islam has several Sufi orders, particularly in Northern Nigeria, Niger and Senegal, countries where the Tijaniyya occupies an important place in the public sphere. In the first part of this book, through a comparative perspective therefore using the concepts of democracy, secularism, domination and violence, the author depicts how these categories are exercised at the local level, especially in the political field. In the second part, he engages in deciphering the complex relations between religion and politics in the so-called alternance regimes between 2000 and 2020, using a Bourdieusian approach to domination. But marabouts intervene also to stop the projects of personalization of the central power. The author concludes that there is a new form of community democracy that Sufi guides use to politically stabilize Senegal.

Islam And Gender In Colonial Northeast Africa - Sitti 'Alawiyya, The Uncrowned Queen

de Silvia Bruzzi

186,83€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Islam and Gender in Colonial Northeast Africa, Silvia Bruzzi provides an account of Islamic movements and gender dynamics in the context of colonial rule in Northeast Africa. The thread that runs through the book is the life and times of Sitti 'Alawiyya al-Mirgani (1892-1940), a representative of a well-established transnational Sufi order in the Red Sea region. Silvia Bruzzi gives us not only a social history of the colonial encounter in the Eritrean colony, but also a wider historical account of supra-regional dynamics across the Red Sea, the Ethiopian hinterland, and the Mediterranean region, using a wide range of fragmentary historical materials to make an important contribution towards filling the gap that currently exists in women's and gender history in Muslim societies.

Shari?A And The Islamic State In 19th-Century Sudan - The Mahdi'S Legal Methodology And Doctrine

de Aharon Layish

238,50€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Sudanese Mahdi headed a millenarian, revivalist, reformist movement in Islam, strongly inspired by Salafi and Sufi ideas, in late 19th century in an attempt to restore the Caliphate of the Prophet and "Righteous Caliphs" in Medina. As the "Successor of the Prophet", the Mahdi was conceived of as the political head of the Islamic state and its supreme religious authority. On the basis of his legal opinions, decisions, proclamations and "traditions" attributed to him, an attempt is made to reconstruct his legal methodology consisting of the Qur?an, sunna, and inspiration (ilham) derived from the Prophet and God, its origins, and its impact on Islamic legal doctrine, and to assess his "legislation" as an instrument to promote his political, social and moralistic agenda.

Doubt, Scholarship And Society In 17th-Century Central Sudanic Africa

de Dorrit Van Dalen

242,48€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The seventeenth century was a period of major social change in central sudanic Africa. Islam spread from royal courts to rural communities, leading to new identities, new boundaries and new tasks for experts of the religion. Addressing these issues, the Bornu scholar Muhammad al-Wali acquired an exceptional reputation. Dorrit van Dalen's study places him within his intellectual environment, and portrays him as responding to the concerns of ordinary Muslims. It shows that scholars on the geographical margins of the Muslim world participated in the debates in the centres of Muslim learning of the time, but on their own terms. Al-Wali's work also sheds light on a century in the Islamic history of West Africa that has until now received little attention.

West African ?Ulama? And Salafism In Mecca And Medina - Jawab Al-Ifr?Q? - The Response Of The African

de Chanfi Ahmed

219,95€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Chanfi Ahmed shows how West African ?ulama?, who fled the European colonization of their region to settle in Mecca and Medina, helped the regime of King Ibn Sa'ud at its beginnings in the field of teaching and spreading the Salaf?-Wahhab?'s Islam both inside and outside Saudi Arabia. This is against the widespread idea of considering the spread of the Salaf?-Wahhab? doctrine as being the work of ?ulama? from Najd (Central Arabia) only. We learn here that the diffusion of this doctrine after 1926 was much more the work of ?ulama? from other parts of the Muslim World who had already acquired this doctrine and spread it in their countries by teaching and publishing books related to it. In addition Chanfi Ahmed demonstrates that concerning Islamic reform and mission (da?wa), Africans are not just consumers, but also thinkers and designers.

Living Knowledge In West African Islam - The Sufi Community Of Ibrahim Niasse

de Zachary Valentine Wright

243,80€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Living Knowledge in West African Islam examines the actualization of religious identity in the community of Ibrahim Niasse (d.1975, Senegal). With millions of followers throughout Africa and the world, the community arguably represents one of the twentieth century's most successful Islamic revivals. Niasse's followers, members of the Tijaniyya Sufi order, gave particular attention to the widespread transmission of the experiential knowledge (ma?rifa) of God. They also worked to articulate a global Islamic identity in the crucible of African decolonization. The central argument of this book is that West African Sufism is legible only with an appreciation of centuries of Islamic knowledge specialization in the region. Sufi masters and disciples reenacted and deepened preexisting teacher-student relationships surrounding the learning of core Islamic disciplines, such as the Qur?an and jurisprudence. Learning Islam meant the transformative inscription of sacred knowledge in the student's very being, a disposition acquired in the master's exemplary physical presence. Sufism did not undermine traditional Islamic orthodoxy: the continued transmission of Sufi knowledge has in fact preserved and revived traditional Islamic learning in West Africa.

Islamic Sufi Networks In The Western Indian Ocean (C.1880-1940) - Ripples Of Reform

de Anne K. Bang

219,95€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In the period c. 1880-1940, organized Sufism spread rapidly in the western Indian Ocean. New communities turned to Islam, and Muslim communities turned to new texts, practices and religious leaders. On the East African coast, the orders were both a vehicle for conversion to Islam and for reform of Islamic practice. The impact of Sufism on local communities is here traced geographically as a ripple reaching beyond the Swahili cultural zone southwards to Mozambique, Madagascar and Cape Town. Through an investigation of the texts, ritual practices and scholarly networks that went alongside Sufi expansion, this book places religious change in the western Indian Ocean within the wider framework of Islamic reform.

Unveiling Modernity In Twentieth-Century West African Islamic Reforms

de Ousman Kobo

303,43€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In this book Ousman Kobo analyzes the origins of Wahhabi-inclined reform movements in two West African countries. Commonly associated with recent Middle Eastern influences, reform movements in Ghana and Burkina Faso actually began during the twilight of European colonial rule in the 1950s and developed from local doctrinal contests over Islamic orthodoxy. These early movements in turn gradually evolved in ways sympathetic to Wahhabi ideas. Kobo also illustrates the modernism of this style of Islamic reform. The decisive factor for most of the movements was the alliance of secularly educated Muslim elites with Islamic scholars to promote a self-consciously modern religiosity rooted in the Prophet Muhammad's traditions. This book therefore provides a fresh understanding of the indigenous origins of "Wahhabism."

Making And Remaking Mosques In Senegal

de Cleo Cantone

311,38€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book constitutes a seminal contribution to the fields of Islamic architectural history and gender studies. It is the first major empirical study of the history and current state of mosque building in Senegal and the first study of mosque space from a gender perspective. The author positions Senegalese mosques within the field of Islamic architectural history, unraveling their history through pre-colonial travelers' accounts to conversations with present-day planners, imams and women who continually shape and reshape the mosques they worship in. Using contemporary Dakar as a case study, the book's second aim is to explore the role of women in the "making and remaking" of mosques. In particular, the rise of non-tariqa grass-roots movements (i.e.: the "Sunni/Ibadou" movement) has empowered women (particularly young women) and has greatly strengthened their capacity to use mosques as places of spirituality, education and socialization. The text is aimed at several specialized readerships: readers interested in Islam in West Africa, in the role of women in Islam, as well as those interested in the sociology and art-history of mosques.

Localising Salafism - Religious Change Among Oromo Muslims In Bale, Ethiopia

de Terje Ostebo

311,38€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The political transition in 1991 and the new regime's policy towards the ethnic and religious diversity in Ethiopia have contributed to increased activities from various Islamic reform movements. Among these, we find the Salafi movement which expanded rapidly throughout the 1990s, particularly in the Oromo-speaking south-eastern parts of the country. This book sheds light on the emergence and expansion of Salafism in Bale. Focusing on the diversified body of situated actors and their role in the process of religious change, it discusses the early arrival of Salafism in the late 1960s, follows it through the Marxist period (1974-1991) before discussing the rapid expansion of the movement in the 1990s. The movement's dynamics and the controversies emerging as a result of the reforms are discussed, particularly with reference to different understandings of sources for religious knowledge and the role of Islamic literacy.

Formation Of The Sudanese Mahdist State - Ceremony And Symbols Of Authority: 1882-1898

de Kim Searcy

214,65€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book is the first analysis of the Sudanese Mahdiyya from a socio-political perspective that treats how relationships of authority were enunciated through symbol and ceremony. The book focuses on how the Mahdi and his second-in-command and ultimate successor, the Khalifa Abdallahi, used symbols, ceremony and ritual to articulate their power, authority and legitimacy first within the context of resistance to the imperial Turco-Egyptian forces that had been occupying the Nilotic Sudan since 1821, and then within the context of establishing an Islamic state. This study examines five key elements from a historical perspective: the importance of Islamic mysticism as manifested in Sufi brotherhoods in the articulation of power in the Sudan; ceremony as handmaids of power and legitimacy; charismatic leadership; the routinization of charisma and the formation of a religious state purportedly based upon the first Islamic community in the seventh century C.E.
