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.

"This book investigates female Muslims pilgrimage practices and how these relate to women's mobility, social relations, identities, and the power structures that shape women's lives. Bringing together scholars from different disciplines and regional expertise, it offers in-depth investigation of the gendered dimensions of Muslim pilgrimage and the life-worlds of female pilgrims. With a variety of case studies, the contributors explore the experiences of female pilgrims to Mecca and other pilgrimage sites, and how these are embedded in historical and current contexts of globalisation and transnational mobility. This volume will be relevant to a broad audience of researchers across pilgrimage, gender, religious, and Islamic studies"--

"The hajj (Ar. ı̀Æajj) is one of the largest gatherings of human beings on the planet; it is also one of the oldest. Every year millions of Muslims from around the world head to the city of Mecca and its environs to perform the hajj during the month allocated for this ritual, or the Umra, the so-called "minor pilgrimage", which can be done at any time of year. They come from all over the Middle East, but from much further afield as well - Africa, Asia, and increasingly from Europe, the Americas, and Australia. It is no exaggeration to say that the hajj is the most important annual event in the world involving the trans-national movement of human beings. The present book attempts to describe the various aspects and facets of the Muslim pilgrimage, with contributions ranging from discussions of the localized rituals of the Hajj itself to the building of a modern global infrastructure. Politics, economics, religion, global health, and transport are all part of the fabric of this volume, as is the lived experience of the pilgrimage as expressed in the literature and art of its practitioners"-- "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"--
