Book Description
This book examines a series of processes (Islamization, arabization, africanization) and case studies from the Muslim societies of Africa over the last thousand years. In contrast to traditions which suggest that Islam did not take root in Africa, Robinson shows the complex struggles of Muslims thoughout the continent: in Morocco and in the Hausaland region of Nigeria, in the "pagan" societies of Ashanti (Ghana) and Buganda (Uganda), and in the ostensibly Christian state of Ethiopia. "Further reading" sections suggest how undergraduate readers may follow up on the themes of this volume, while illustrations and maps make the processes and case studies concrete.
