Items related to Muslim Identity and Social Change in Sub-Saharan Africa
Synopsis
This collection of 1991 conference papers examines the often complex evolution of Islam in a variety of African countries in recent decades, emphasizing the interaction between Islamic groups as they wrestle with issues of local tradition, doctrinal reform, political patronage, and increasing Westernization. Where open forms of political activity have been suppressed, some authors argue, Islam has become a vehicle to express ideological, socioeconomic, and political rivalries. Where governments have failed to provide needed social services, Muslim groups have begun to respond to demands for education and welfare in ways largely ignored by Western development agencies.
