Meer over het boek

The book explores the intricate processes of Islamization, Arabization, and Africanization within Muslim societies across Africa over the past thousand years. It challenges the notion that Islam has not deeply influenced the continent, presenting case studies from regions such as Morocco, Hausaland in Nigeria, Ashanti in Ghana, Buganda in Uganda, and Ethiopia. The narrative culminates with discussions on significant figures and movements, including the Mahdi and Khalifa of Sudan, as well as the Murid Sufi movement, highlighting the diverse experiences of Muslims in Africa.
