The first comprehensive analysis of Muslim movements of reform in modern sub-Saharan Africa.
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.
The 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.

The contributions to the present volume show that the countries that are often presented in the literature as forming part of a stereotypical and seemingly monolithic "Islamic world" in fact represent considerable diversity. From Iran to Senegal, we encounter avast array of social and religious structures, historical trajectories, political regimes andrelative positions of societies and individuals. We encounter also, in many different and often unexpected ways, the individual in multiple contexts. The present volume presents perspectives on everyday life in Muslim societies beyond the spectacular. From a broad academic background in Islamic and Iranian studies, social anthropology, sociology,philosophy and history, its contributors show that everyday life as well as religious practice in countries as diverse as Senegal, Niger, Egypt, Tunisia and Iran is not informed by one single "Islamic" tradition, but rather by multiple and often surprisingly different modes of religiosity and non-religiosity.

Seit der Revolution 2010/2011, dem Sturz des Diktators Ben ʻAli und dem Ende der Einparteien-Herrschaft im Jahr 2011 sowie der Verabschiedung einer neuen demokratischen Verfassung im Jahr 2014 gilt Tunesien in der arabischen Welt als Ausnahmeland, als das einzige Land der Region, in welchem eine Zivilgesellschaft den Sieg über ein autokratisches System davontragen und behaupten konnte. Der vorliegende Band beschäftigt sich nicht nur mit der historischen Entwicklung Tunesiens seit dem Beginn tunesischer Reformen in der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts, sondern analysiert auch, wie sich im Kontext einer langen Reformtradition in der Kolonialzeit und seit der Unabhängigkeit die Herausbildung der tunesischen Zivilgesellschaft erklärt. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei zum einen auf der Revolution des Jahres 2010/2011 und der Entwicklung eines demokratischen Tunesiens nach der Revolution. Zum anderen wird der Frage nachgegangen, warum die religiöse Opposition Tunesiens in Gestalt der "Nahḍa" letztendlich bereit war, diese Entwicklung Tunesiens zu akzeptieren und mitzutragen.
