Pilier de l'islam, le pèlerinage à La Mecque est à l'origine du plus grand rassemblement humain au monde. Née aux premiers temps de l'islam, cette pratique n'a cessé de croître, s'inscrivant dans une histoire qui mêle les dimensions religieuses, politiques, sociales, économiques ou encore sanitaires. Au cours du xixe siècle, le voyage à La Mecque prend un essor inédit et cesse d'être une affaire exclusivement musulmane : les puissances coloniales s'attachent à gouverner administrativement ce vaste mouvement touchant chaque année plusieurs dizaines de milliers de leurs ressortissants. La communauté internationale se mobilise pour assurer un strict contrôle sanitaire de ces rencontres qui catalysent les risques d'épidémies. Avec la fin des empires coloniaux, le pèlerinage entre dans l'histoire de reconfigurations géopolitiques, qui demeurent jusqu'à aujourd'hui au cœur des enjeux de la région. En retraçant l'histoire du voyage à La Mecque, Sylvia Chiffoleau nous plonge dans le quotidien des pèlerins et nous montre que ces croyants, au fil du temps, expérimentent les territoires de la modernité.

Every year hundreds of thousands of pilgrims from all over the world converge on Mecca and its precincts to perform the rituals associated with the Hajj and have been doing so since the seventh century. In this volume, scholars from a range of fields - including history, religion, anthropology, and literature - together tell the story of the Hajj and explain its significance as one of the key events in the Muslim religious calendar. By outlining the parameters of the Hajj from its beginnings to the present day, the contributors have produced a global study that takes in the vast geographies of belief in the world of Islam. This volume pays attention to the diverse aspects of the Hajj, as lived every year by hundreds of millions of Muslims, touching on its rituals, its regional forms, the role of gender, its representation in art, and its organization on a global scale.
