{"product_id":"islamic-reform-in-twentieth-century-africa-roman-loimeier-9781474432191","title":"Islamic Reform in Twentieth-Century Africa","description":"Based on twelve case studies (Senegal, Mali, Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zanzibar and the Comoros), this book looks at patterns and peculiarities of different traditions of Islamic reform. Considering both Sufi- and Salafi-oriented movements in their respective historical contexts, it stresses the importance of the local context to explain the different trajectories of development. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book studies the social, religious and political impact of these reform movements in both historical and contemporary times and asks why some have become successful as popular mass movements, while others failed to attract substantial audiences. It also considers jihad-minded movements in contemporary Mali, northern Nigeria and Somalia and looks at modes of transnational entanglement of movements of reform. Against the background of a general inquiry into what constitutes 'reform', the text responds to the question of what 'reform' actually means for Muslims in contemporary Africa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roman Loimeier\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474432190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474432191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/22\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 1.40d","brand":"Roman Loimeier","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985689477375,"sku":"9781474432191","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa79dc20-3ba0-40d0-9838-5b318a16412f.jpg?v=1683278987","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/islamic-reform-in-twentieth-century-africa-roman-loimeier-9781474432191","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
