ebooks Spirit Possession and Personhood among the Kel Ewey Tuareg (Cambridge Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology) by Susan J. Rasmussen in History

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 suggesting that Islam did not take root in Africa; David Robinson depicts the complex struggles of Muslims throughout the continent: in Morocco and the Hausaland region of Nigeria; the "pagan" societies of Ashanti (Ghana) and Buganda (Uganda); and the ostensibly Christian state of Ethiopia. "Further reading" sections suggest how undergraduate readers can pursue research; and illustrations and maps supplement the text.
