Living Knowledge in West African Islam - Paperback

by Zachary Wright (Author), Ibrahim Dimson (Revised by)

This book concerns the ways in which a prominent West African Muslim community drew on a long legacy of Islamic knowledge transmission to further deepen a contemporary Islamic subjectivity. "This sufi path", a Senegalese teacher, Tijani b. Ali Cisse, told a group of followers who had come to see him in Morocco, "is about becoming a better Muslim."
