Reviews
Recent times have witnessed greater Islamic political expression and sub-Saharan Africa has also experienced its version of greater political Islamic influence. This book's intent is to focus on gender relations and Sharia law in sub-Saharan Africa through a collection of essays. The first part consists of four essays that explore the historical spread of Islam in sub-Saharan Africa, including one that traces the multiple views on slavery in Africa. The second part has five essays that focus on the status of women and the role some of the women organizations are playing in politics and religion. The next four essays explore the intersection between gender and Sharia law. The last section has three essays that are case studies of Islamism in Somalia, South Africa, and one on the Nation of Islam in the United States. Each of the 16 essays has extensive notes, and some have a bibliography. However, there is a selected bibliography section at the end as well as a glossary of common Islamic words. The addition of an index is helpful to find areas of interest quickly. This book covers primarily Central and Western sub-Saharan Africa (although there are a small number of essays that cover other areas). . . .The essays are useful for students interested in case studies of women organizing to reinterpret traditional Islamic customs and renegotiate their space in sub-Saharan society., Since the end of the twentieth century no religion has attracted more attention than Islam, a glaring gap exists in the recent flood of publications on the religion. This is due to the shortage of scholarly work on Islam in Africa. This book aims to fill the gap. . . . [This] publication provides unique insights into culture and Islam, the concepts of jihad, slavery and Sharia, and the status of women in Muslim countries. . . . [Recommended] for readers who already have a good knowledge of Islam, but seek a case study of Africa., Scholars from disciplines as varied as sociology, history, law, political science, anthropology, and religious studies have authored the 16 chapters in this interesting and at times unexpected interdisciplinary collection focusing on Islam in Africa. Accordingly, the chapters take varied methodological and theoretical approaches, ranging from ethnography to a review of legal codes. However, a general focus on gender and politics, as the subtitle suggests, holds the volume together. The majority of the book's chapters focus on Islam in West Africa, particularly in Ghana and Nigeria, although there is one chapter each on Somalia, Sudan, South Africa, and the Nation of Islam. Surprisingly, there is no coverage of the heavily Muslim Swahili Coast other than a brief mention in the preface. Many chapters contain an overview or very general introduction to certain ideas in the Islamic tradition that may not be necessary for all readers. Several of the chapters have been previously published elsewhere, some recently, some in the 1990s. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
