That was in 1909. This singular branch of the tijaniyya is also linked to the name of the shaykh Hamahoullah or Hamallah who was the follower and the successor of the shaykh Lakhdar. From the political point of view, the emergence of the hamawiyya or hamallisme, squares with the setting up of the colonial administration after the conquest, and from the religious point of view, to the end of the jihad and the acceptance of the colonial situation by many muslim leaders. The refusal by the shaykh Hamahoullah of a colonial compromise and the activities of the hamawi, placed the tijaniyya hamawiyya in a warring situation against the french administration between 1925 and 1948. Following a conflict between several moorish tribes in the nioro and assaba districts in august 1940, the colonial administration took the advantage to put down the hamawiyya. This resulted in the confinement of the hamawiyya top leaders in various african prisons and in the death in prison in january 1943 of Hamahoullah. However, the hamawi took the advantage of the decolonization process in the late 1940s with the creation of political parties to develop new prospects and move towards the urban centres. In the post-colonial states, the attitude of tijaniyya hamawiyya zealots is devided between the reconciliation with the national umma and a rigid moralist position which would give it the image of a fundamentalist sect. C'est en 1909 que Sahykh Sidi Mohammad Ben Abdallah, connu également sous le nom de Shaykh Lakhdar, introduisit la pratique de la prière à onze jawaharatu-l-kamali de la tijaniyya a nioro du sahel dans le Soudan français de l'époque. Cette branche particulière de la tijaniyya se rattache au nom de Shaykh Hamahoullah ou Hamallah, disciple puis successeur de Shaykh Lakhdar. L'apparition de la hamawiyya ou hamallisme correspond, sur le plan politique à la mise en place des instruments de la colonisation après les conquêtes et sur le plan religieux à la fin des jiahd-s et à l'acceptation du fait colonial par de nombreux chefs de familles maraboutiques et confrériques. Le refus du compromis colonial de Shaykh Hamahoullah et l'excès de zèle des hamawi vont placer la tijaniyya hamawiyy dans une position de confrontation avec l'administration française de 1925 à 1948. A la faveur d'une bataille rangée entre plusieurs tribus maures des cercles de nioro et de l'assaba en août 1940, l'administration lança une vaste répression contre la hamawiyya. Elle aboutit à la dispersion des principaux leaders de la hamawiyya dans plusieurs centres d'internement africains et à la mort, le janvier 1943 en déportation de Hamahoullah. La décolonisation et l'émergence des partis politiques dans la seconde moitié des années '40 offrent l'occasion aux hamawi de développer de nouvelles perspectives de redéploiement en particulier en milieu urbain. Dans les états postcoloniaux, l'attitude des partisans de la tijaniyya hamawiyya se partage entre le rapprochement avec la umma nationale et une position rigoriste qui lui donnerait les contours d'une secte intégriste. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/546 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/298 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/357 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Aix-Marseille bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1295 bibo:editorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1305 -- o:id 5259 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5259 o:resource_template Thesis and dissertation o:resource_class bibo:Thesis o:item_set/o:id 2212 2222 dcterms:title L'Islam et l'État dans les pays de l'Afrique de l'Ouest (Sénégal, Niger, Burkina Faso) dcterms:subject Secularism Islam in Senegal secularism dcterms:publisher Université de Poitiers dcterms:date 1989 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8649 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q114345305 Q114345305 iwac-reference-0000598 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract Les états de l'Afrique de l'ouest anciennement colonises par la France ont hérité, à leur indépendance en 1960, des grands principes du droit constitutionnel français, dont celui de la laïcité de la république. Les états sahéliens, comme le Sénégal, le Burkina faso et le Niger, avaient consigné ce principe dans leur constitution respective, affirmant ainsi la "neutralité idéologique" de l'état par rapport aux religions. Or, il s'agit de pays fortement islamisés (90 % au Sénégal, 87,8 % au Niger) dans lesquels la population musulmane prend de plus en plus conscience de ses forces et aspire à jouer un rôle plus important dans la gestion des affaires publiques. Il s'établit ainsi, dans la pratique, un système de relations complexes entre l'islam et le pouvoir d'état. Ce qui peut surprendre dans des états qui ont formellement affirmé leur attachement au principe de la laïcité. Cette étude comparative montre que les rapports entre l'islam et l'état sont marqués par la collaboration entre les élites politiques et les hauts dignitaires religieux et sont fondés sur la communauté des intérêts de classe qui existe entre ces deux couches dominantes de la société. Cette collaboration profite aux deux partenaires même si, en définitive, c'est plus l'état qui utilise l'islam que le contraire. Les forces islamiques éprouvent des difficultés à promouvoir des formes d'organisation et d'action politiques autonomes. Leur activisme se manifeste surtout sur le terrain social, alors que sur le plan politique, elles restent dépendantes de l'état et des partis laïques. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/546 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/395 dcterms:provenance Poitiers bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1370 bibo:editorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1859 -- o:id 5317 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5317 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Qur'anic Exegesis in Niger: A Songhay-Zarma Oral Commentary on Sūrat al-Baqara dcterms:subject Qur’an Songhai people exegesis Zarma people Say dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25088 dcterms:date 2013 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312304 Q117312304 iwac-reference-0000158 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract The city of Saayi (Say), Niger has played an important role in the regional development of Islam from the early nineteenth century onwards. This paper traces its history and the biography of the founder, using the available written and oral sources, while also describing its role as a contemporary religious centre. The Qur'an is commented on in local languages both in the context of traditional advanced religious education and in Ramaḍān. The intellectual sources, language and ritual dimensions of enunciation of these oral commentaries are analysed, as are the ceremonies specific to Ramaḍān. Although Say was founded by Fulfulde-speaking scholars, reflecting the general cultural and social evolution of the city and its area, for the past 50 years, the Qur'an commentary in the Friday mosque has been given in Songhay-Zarma. While these commentaries are essentially based on recognised Arabic ones, their language makes some reference to the images and concepts of local Songhay-Zarma culture. The linguistic features and substantive content of Songhay-Zarma oral tafsīr are illustrated by two excerpts, each presenting several verses of Sūrat al-Baqara: one is drawn from a full tafsīr collected in Say in 1968, at the initiative of the well-known statesman and man of letters Boubou Hama; the other was collected in the Zarma country in 1905–6. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1700 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.3366/JQS.2013.0117 10.3366/JQS.2013.0117 bibo:issue 3 bibo:pageEnd 205 bibo:pageStart 184 bibo:volume 15 -- o:id 5318 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5318 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 2225 dcterms:title Secular States, Muslim Law and Islamic Religious Culture: Gender Implications of Legal Struggles in Hybrid Legal Systems in Contemporary West Africa dcterms:subject Senegal sharia woman legal systems family law dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25062 dcterms:date 2010 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295107 Q116295107 iwac-reference-0000159 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract This article sets out the differing approaches of three West African states (Niger, Senegal, and Nigeria) towards reconciling the multiple legal systems (Islamic, western, military) they have inherited as ostensibly secular states in regions with prominent Muslim populations. While Senegal has adopted a Family Code that appears to modify and regulate some of the perceived injustices of Islamic law in family life, a number of states within Nigeria have gone in the opposite direction, expanding Islamic law beyond family law into the criminal domain. In Niger, on the other hand, multiple systems of law co-exist uneasily, without any effective hierarchy or definitive conclusion to legal disputes carried into different legal domains. In all three cases the state does not have the capacity to effectively enforce a single coherent legal system, nor does it succeed in controlling the «justice» that so commonly occurs in extra-legal settings. Throughout West Africa legal reform must contend with the dual problems of weak state capacity to impose a unified legal system and of the vigilantism of pressure groups that may have limited mastery of the Islamic juridical tradition in an atmosphere that is nevertheless heavy with the rhetoric of a return to Islamic purity. Cet article expose les différentes approches de trois États ouest-africains que sont le Niger, le Sénégal et le Nigeria en vue de concilier les divers systèmes juridiques (islamique, occidental, militaire) dont ils ont hérité en tant qu’États ostensiblement laïques dans des régions majoritairement musulmanes. Si le Sénégal a adopté un Code de la famille qui paraît modifier et réglementer les dites injustices du droit musulman dans la vie de famille, un certain nombre d'États du Nigéria sont allés en sens inverse, en élargissant le droit islamique au-delà du droit de la famille en l’étendant au domaine pénal. Au Niger, d’autre part, plusieurs systèmes de droit coexistent de manière précaire, sans hiérarchie réelle et sans aboutir à la résolution définitive des conflits juridiques. Dans les trois cas, l’État n’a ni la capacité d’appliquer efficacement un système juridique unitaire et cohérent, ni ne réussit à contrôler la « justice » qui a lieu si souvent dans des milieux extra-légaux. Partout en Afrique de l’Ouest, les partisans des réformes juridiques affrontent deux épreuves : la faible capacité de l’État à imposer un système juridique unitaire, et la coercition des groupes de pression qui maîtrisent mal la tradition juridique islamique dans une atmosphère chargée d’un discours sur le retour à une certaine « pureté islamique ». dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/541 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1685 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.4000/DROITCULTURES.1982 10.4000/DROITCULTURES.1982 bibo:issue 59 bibo:pageEnd 120 bibo:pageStart 97 -- o:id 5319 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5319 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Instrumentalizing the Qur'an in Niger's Public Life dcterms:subject Qur’an public sphere politics dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25083 dcterms:date 2007 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q113528335 Q113528335 iwac-reference-0000160 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract Recent developments in Niger have shown a growing presence of Islamic symbols in the public space in civil society organizations, and within government and political circles. The case under consideration here is the reform in 2004 that required magistrates presiding over electoral commissions to take an oath according to their religious conviction. For most of these civil servants the law meant being sworn in on the Qur'an, but the initiative resulted in a controversy between different factions: civil society organizations seeking to preserve the secular nature of state institutions; and state officials and political parties who argued that the law would contribute to free and fair electoral processes. Putting this controversy in a broader context, I suggest looking at the genealogy of the instrumentalization of the Qur'an in Niger's sociopolitical history, and also the identity politics to which state officials are increasingly compelled to respond. I also argue that the provision for religious symbolism in a state system which, until now has claimed its secularity, is dictated by a political utilitarianism focusing on the need for new compulsory rituals, and translates into an accommodationism that plays with the religious identity of the administration. In emphasizing the new functionality, meanings and symbolic value of Islam in general, and the Qur'an in particular, the paper highlights the complexity of the management of the line of demarcation between the religious and the secular in the light of recent constitutional and legal changes in Niger. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.4314/JIS.V27I1.39935 10.4314/JIS.V27I1.39935 bibo:pageEnd 239 bibo:pageStart 211 bibo:volume 27 -- o:id 5320 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5320 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Mouvances islamiques et demande d'ouverture démocratique au Niger dcterms:subject Islamism democratization dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25066 dcterms:date 2005 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295130 Q116295130 iwac-reference-0000161 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract La démocratisation du Niger a favorisé l'expression publique de l'islamisme mais surtout la mise en concurrence des différentes mouvances islamiques présentes dans le pays.

Au début des années 1960, les présidents des principaux pays d'Afrique francophone nouvellement indépendants étaient catholiques, mais il n'en est plus ainsi. L'islamisme s'est bien porté dans la classe politique parce qu'il était assimilé au nationalisme, par réaction contre le catholicisme importé par la colonisation. Certaines des 'conversions' à l'islam de présidents africains doivent surtout s'interpréter comme un geste de sympathie à l'égard du monde arabe, pourvoyeur d'aide à l'Afrique noire. Aujourd'hui, l'islam est la religion d'une personne sur trois au sud du Sahara. Ces avancées s'expliquent par le fait qu'il est souvent perçu comme un gage d''authenticité'. L'Africain souffre de son acculturation depuis l'arrivée des techniques et des modes de vie occidentaux que n'accompagne pas un véritable développement économique. Avec ces mosquées pratiquant l'entraide, l'islam est un refuge. L'islam noir présente aujourd'hui des visages multiples et contrastés. L'islam n'est pas partout un islam débonnaire, préservé de l'intégrisme, et plusieurs dirigeants africains doivent composer avec des 'ayatollahs' locaux, ou sont leurs complices. Après le 11 septembre et les bombardements américains en Afghanistan, plusieurs manifestations de soutien à Ben Laden ont eu lieu au Kenya, au Niger et au Sénégal. Le succès de la riposte américaine a conduit la minorité extrémiste à adopter un profil bas. Mais, pendant la période d'expectative qui suivit le 11 septembre, elle est apparue sous son vrai jour. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1716 bibo:issue 5 bibo:pageEnd 81 bibo:pageStart 73 -- o:id 5323 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5323 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 2225 dcterms:title Les avancées de l'islam au sud du Sahara dcterms:subject islamization Sub-Saharan Africa dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25072 dcterms:date 2002 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295093 Q116295093 iwac-reference-0000164 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract Dans le présent article l'auteur examine le 'danger' islamiste dans plusieurs pays africains au sud du Sahara, à savoir le Sénégal, la Somalie, le Niger, le Nigeria et l'Éthiopie. Il convient de ne pas dramatiser la situation sénégalaise. L'islamisme local n'a pas encore à sa tête un leader charismatique capable d'entraîner les grandes masses. Cependant, si la politique de rétablissement socioéconomique du pays du président Abdoulaye Wade devait échouer, l'islamisme pourrait progresser de manière plus sensible. Au lendemain des attentats du 11 septembre, la Somalie a retenu l'attention des Américains. Washington a exprimé sa préoccupation devant les liens possibles entretenus entre la Somalie et le réseau Al Qaïda d'Oussama Ben Laden, en dépit des démentis du gouvernement national de transition somalien, qui d'ailleurs ne contrôle qu'une partie de la capitale, Mogadiscio. Un autre pays est dans le collimateur de Washington:le Niger. Il serait cependant erroné de conclure à une islamisation prochaine du Niger. Pourtant, la stabilité de son territoire est menacée au sud, le long de sa frontière commune avec le nord islamique du Nigeria. Dans ce dernier pays, le pouvoir central n'a pas de stratégie pour contrer les prétentions islamistes, et le Nigeria est guetté par le risque d'effondrement. En Éthiopie, bien que l'islam ne soit pas la première religion, on observe des conditions d'un possible basculement dans le fondamentalisme. Faut-il se montrer embarrassé par le développement islamiste en Afrique noire? Plutôt que de répondre à cette question, il importe davantage de s'interroger sur les causes de son expansion dans le sud saharien. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/541 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1710 bibo:issue 5 bibo:pageEnd 89 bibo:pageStart 83 -- o:id 5324 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5324 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Le culte de possession par les génies holley au Niger : une transgression de l'éthique islamique par le biais thérapeutique dcterms:subject rite faith healing dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25067 dcterms:date 2001 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312332 Q117312332 iwac-reference-0000165 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract Le culte des génies holley au Niger, qui s'appuie sur la notion fondamentale d'êtres immatériels et sur une représentation cosmologique d'un monde en double, s'oppose à la morale islamique, la croyance à des génies étant perçue comme une erreur. L'auteur entend montrer comment une analyse systématique de ce culte de possession révèle la possibilité de référer ces pratiques à une modalité d'éthique qui est une morale d'ordre social et qui permet la transgression, par le biais thérapeuthique, de la loi coranique. Il utilise les donnés d'une observation personnelle de quelques cérémonies rituelles à but thérapeutique. Cette recherche se situe au croisement d'une psychologie sociale, d'une psychologie clinique, et de l'anthropologie sociale. Deux éléments sont problématiques, au regard de la laïcité coranique: la notion de holley d'une part et celle de transe d'autre part. Or le statut des holley ou djinn prend place dans un espace éthique virtuel, où la notion de holley, êtres virtuellement bénéfiques ou maléfiques, échappe à la fonction du sacré qui est la définition du Bien et du Mal. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1738 bibo:issue 66 67 bibo:pageEnd 130 bibo:pageStart 123 -- o:id 5325 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5325 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Une occasion manquée : le Code de la famille dans l'orageuse transition nigérienne dcterms:subject gender law conflict state dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25096 dcterms:date 2001 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312356 Q117312356 iwac-reference-0000166 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract Revised and translated version of 'The moral and the political in African democratization: The Code de la Famille in Niger's troubled transition. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1300 bibo:volume 15 -- o:id 5326 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5326 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title A Discourse-Centered Approach Toward Understanding Muslim Identities in Zinder, Niger dcterms:subject identity Zinder dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25077 dcterms:date 2000 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295113 Q116295113 iwac-reference-0000167 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract In the early 1990s, the newly built women's cooperative in Zinder, Niger, was destroyed by a group of men who accused women of failing to adhere to 'Islamic principles'. During the same period, a number of bars were damaged and subsequently closed. These events were generally viewed as marking the rise of 'Islamic fundamentalism'. However, no one could identify this group that had been labelled 'fundamentalists'. The present article takes a discourse-centred approach to an understanding of how Zinderois define what it means to be a Muslim. To do this, it analyses 'forms of knowledge' that represent different ways of defining Islamic practice and Muslim identity, namely, those of Koranic scholars ('malamai'), leaders of an Islamic reform movement, and traditional healers ('bokaye'). The 'malamai', reformers and 'bokaye' define Islamic practice and Muslim identity in different ways. Historically, it was the 'malamai' who used the label 'non-Muslim' to refer to 'bokaye'.

Majority Muslims draw upon these various forms of knowledge in different ways depending on the situation and in so doing display religious creativity and innovation. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1691 bibo:issue 14 15 bibo:pageEnd 119 bibo:pageStart 99 -- o:id 5327 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5327 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title A Flood, Friday Mosques and the Formation of Local Identity: Hausa Politics and the Impact of Ethnographic Fieldwork in a Village Divided, Maradi (niger) dcterms:subject Hausa people Maradi Region identity Djiratawa dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25141 dcterms:date 2000 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312329 Q117312329 iwac-reference-0000168 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract This article is an attempt to come to grips with the Hausa people's use of the mosque as a political bargaining chip in contestations over the legitimacy of and use of power in Maradi.

Since the mid-19th century, Islam has been contested by 'sarki'-s ('sarki' is the Hausa word for sultan), by advisors to the 'sarki', by members of the Qadiriyya, Tijaniyya and Sanussiyya, who sought to establish and develop large, well organized centres in Zinder, and even by the French. In the 1950s followers of Ibrahim Niasse attempted to establish a centre in Zinder. As in the case of previous such attempts, the 'sarki' was unreceptive. At the end of the 20th century, reformers are attempting to redefine Islam as they challenge Islamic practice and Muslim identity as defined by the 'malamai' (Koranic scholars) and majority Muslims in Zinder. Always present in the debate are the 'bokaye' (traditional healers) and those who continue to incorporate local practices into their practice of Islam. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1691 bibo:issue 12 bibo:pageEnd 146 bibo:pageStart 129 -- o:id 5329 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5329 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Islamic Associations in Niger dcterms:subject association dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25077 dcterms:date 1996 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295110 Q116295110 iwac-reference-0000170 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract Until 1993 the government-approved Association islamique du Niger (AIN) was the sole Islamic association in Niger. However, with the transition to a democratically elected government came reforms in the areas of freedom of speech and expression. With this transition came the formation of the Association nigérienne pour l'appel et la solidarité islamiques (ANASI), the Association pour la diffusion de l'islam au Niger (ADINI), the Association pour le rayonnement de la culture islamique (ARCI) and the Association des jeunes musulmans du Niger (AJMN). From November 1994 to April 1995 the author conducted research on Islamic culture and practice in Zinder, the second largest city of Niger. The present article is based on the author's interviews with members of these associations in Zinder as well as on the associations' statutes. It outlines the philosophy, objectives, organization and resources for each association. The similarities in the objectives of these associations seem to contrast with the wide range of variation in Islamic culture and practice in Zinder. These associations, while each arguing for the oneness of their religion, also represent a major difficulty facing Muslims in the world today, which is the attempt to present a unified religion in the face of cultural variation in the way people interpret and practice Islam. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1691 bibo:issue 10 bibo:pageEnd 204 bibo:pageStart 187 -- o:id 5330 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5330 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Accumulation marchande et propagation de l'islam en milieu urbain : le cas de Maradi (Niger) dcterms:subject Maradi commerce dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25077 dcterms:date 1991 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116486382 Q116486382 iwac-reference-0000171 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract À Maradi, troisième ville du Niger selon les recensements officiels mais capitale commerciale du pays, un groupe de riches marchands, les 'alhazai' (sing.

Ces 'alhazai' sont imprégnés à la fois des valeurs du capitalisme marchand mais aussi de l'islam comme en témoigne leur titre d''alhadj'. À travers de multiples actions, ces marchands ont encouragé la diffusion de l'islam.

Il traite successivement de la fondation de Maradi au début du 19e siècle; de la paix coloniale, qui s'accompagna d'un essor du commerce local et permit également aux populations de se déplacer pour des motifs religieux; de l'ère de la traite arachidière, dès 1930; et du développement du grand commerce avec le Nigeria et de l'islamisation de la ville après 1970. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1339 bibo:issue 5 bibo:pageEnd 55 bibo:pageStart 43 -- o:id 5331 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5331 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Un périodique islamiste au Niger : Iqra dcterms:subject Islamism mass media dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25077 dcterms:date 1990 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312337 Q117312337 iwac-reference-0000172 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1305 bibo:issue 4 bibo:pageEnd 172 bibo:pageStart 171 -- o:id 5332 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5332 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title The Political Economy of Islamic Penetration and Development in Niger dcterms:subject politics dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25133 dcterms:date 1990 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312324 Q117312324 iwac-reference-0000173 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1711 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1742 bibo:issue 2 3 bibo:pageEnd 219 bibo:pageStart 205 bibo:volume 9 -- o:id 5333 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5333 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Note sur l'enseignement franco-arabe au Niger dcterms:subject education French Arabic dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25077 dcterms:date 1988 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116486764 Q116486764 iwac-reference-0000174 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1305 bibo:issue 2 bibo:pageEnd 156 bibo:pageStart 155 -- o:id 5334 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5334 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title L'université islamique du Niger dcterms:subject university Say Organisation of Islamic Cooperation dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25077 dcterms:date 1988 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312340 Q117312340 iwac-reference-0000175 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract L'Université islamique de Say, petite ville située à une soixantaine de kilomètres au sud de Niamey (Niger), a ouvert ses portes en octobre 1986.

https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:alternative Le radicalisme islamique au sud du Sahara : da'wa, arabisation et critique de l'Occident dcterms:abstract Le régime qui s'installe en 1974 au Niger, soucieux d'affirmer sa légitimité en tenant compte du poids sociologique de l'islam mais méfiant envers les cadres maraboutiques traditionnels, se tourne vers ceux qui, parmi les musulmans, apparaissent comme des 'modernistes', c'est-à-dire les 'licenciés du Caire'. Cette expression est utilisée dans cet article pour désigner tous les cadres qui, après la 'médersa' (école franco-arabe) au Niger, ont poursuivi leur formation dans les universités du monde arabe, et pas seulement au Caire. L'auteur examine les rapports entre l'État, les marabouts traditionnels, l'élite francophone et les 'licenciés du Caire'. Ces derniers deviennent les alliés islamiques privilégiés des militaires au pouvoir et par le biais de l'AIN (Association islamique du Niger) ils deviennent les porte-parole de l'islam 'légitime' et les médiateurs des relations entre le Niger et le monde arabe. Les arabisants qui se veulent uniques représentants légitimes de 'l'oumma' (communauté des croyants) au Niger, ont des conflits de légitimité avec d'une part l'élite religieuse traditionnelle, d'autre part l'élite francophone. Seuls les franco-arabisés, qui ont su maîtriser le français, ont trouvé leur place dans l'appareil étatique; les purs arabisants, la grande masse des jeunes formés dans les écoles coraniques traditionnelles, semblent n'avoir pour avenir que le chômage. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/456 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1695 bibo:editorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1261 bibo:pageEnd 227 bibo:pageStart 213 -- o:id 5389 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5389 o:resource_template Book chapter o:resource_class bibo:Chapter o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Islamic Values the State and the 'Development of Women': The Case of Niger dcterms:subject gender state dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25271 dcterms:date 1991 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8476 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312295 Q117312295 iwac-reference-0000497 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:alternative Hausa Women in the Twentieth Century dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Madison bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1703 bibo:editorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/15815 bibo:pageEnd 89 bibo:pageStart 69 -- o:id 5390 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5390 o:resource_template Book chapter o:resource_class bibo:Chapter o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Khalwa and the career of sainthood: An interpretative essay dcterms:subject Aïr Mountains Khalwa mysticism ʿUmar Tal dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25183 dcterms:date 1988 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8476 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312341 Q117312341 iwac-reference-0000498 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:alternative Charisma and Brotherhood in African Islam dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Oxford bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1305 bibo:editorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1330 bibo:pageEnd 66 bibo:pageStart 53 -- o:id 5391 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5391 o:resource_template Book chapter o:resource_class bibo:Chapter o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title L'Islam et l'état en République du Niger (1074-1981) dcterms:subject state history dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25256 dcterms:date 1982 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8476 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312339 Q117312339 iwac-reference-0000499 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:alternative L'Islam et l'Etat dans le monde d'aujourd'hui dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/456 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1305 bibo:editorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/15799 bibo:pageEnd 270 bibo:pageStart 246 -- o:id 5392 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5392 o:resource_template Book chapter o:resource_class bibo:Chapter o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Religion and state in the Songhay Empire, 1464-1591 dcterms:subject Mali religion history Songhai people dcterms:date 1966 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8476 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312305 Q117312305 iwac-reference-0000500 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:alternative Islam in Tropical Africa dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1694 bibo:editorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/15786 bibo:pageEnd 317 bibo:pageStart 296 -- o:id 5394 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5394 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Legacies of Colonialism and Islam for Hausa Woman: An Historical Analysis, 1804 to 1960 dcterms:subject gender law colonialism Hausa people dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25238 dcterms:date 2002 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312377 Q117312377 iwac-reference-0000673 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract This paper looks at the effects of Islamization and colonialism on women in Hausaland. Beginning with the jihad and subsequent Islamic government of ‘dan Fodio, I examine the changes impacting Hausa women in and outside of the Caliphate he established. Women inside of the Caliphate were increasingly pushed out of public life and relegated to the domestic space. Islamic law was widely established, and large-scale slave production became key to the economy of the Caliphate. In contrast, Hausa women outside of the Caliphate were better able to maintain historical positions of authority in political and religious realms. As the French and British colonized Hausaland, the partition they made corresponded roughly with those Hausas inside and outside of the Caliphate. The British colonized the Caliphate through a system of indirect rule, which reinforced many of the Caliphate’s ways of governance. The British did, however, abolish slavery and impose a new legal system, both of which had significant effects on Hausa women in Nigeria. The French colonized the northern Hausa kingdoms, which had resisted the Caliphate’s rule. Through patriarchal French colonial policies, Hausa women in Niger found they could no longer exercise the political and religious authority that they historically had held. The literature on Hausa women in Niger is considerably less well developed than it is for Hausa women in Nigeria. This paper serves as an inquiry into the types of questions that need to be explored in future research on gender issues in Nigerien Hausaland. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance East Lansing bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1737 bibo:issue 276 bibo:numPages 22 -- o:id 5395 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5395 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Etude de l'évolution des pratiques de l'Islam au Niger dcterms:subject practice dcterms:publisher Bureau de l'ambassade du Canada au Niger dcterms:date 1998 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312363 Q117312363 iwac-reference-0000674 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/490 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1752 -- o:id 5396 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5396 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Islam, Public Policy and the Legal Status of Women in Niger dcterms:subject gender law politics dcterms:publisher United States Agency for International Development dcterms:date 1992 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312373 Q117312373 iwac-reference-0000675 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Washington, D.C. bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1703 bibo:numPages 64 -- o:id 5397 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5397 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Girkaa : une cérémonie d'initiation au culte de possession bòorii des Hausa de la région de Maradi (Niger) dcterms:subject rite Hausa people Maradi Region Bori religion dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25188 dcterms:date 1989 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312297 Q117312297 iwac-reference-0000676 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract Ce livre réunit pour la première fois la totalité des textes chantés au cours d'une cérémonie d'initiation ('girkaa') au culte de possession 'bòorii' des Hausa de la région de Maradi au Niger.

Der Verfasser beschäftigt sich dabei mit zwei Fragestellungen: wie verlaufen die Beziehungen zwischen staatlicher Verwaltung und Bauern? Wie wird den Bauern eine autonome Agrarkultur von einer islamisch-urbanen Kultur abgelöst? Bei der erste Frage konzentriert er seine Untersuchung auf die unterste Ebene, bei der Verwaltung und Bauern in unmittelbaren Kontakt zueinander treten. Die Herrschenden kommen dabei nur soweit ins Blickfeld, als sie auf den Bauern unmittelbar einwirken. Alle Angaben beziehen sich auf der Zeit vor dem Militärputsch (15.4.1947).

Their share in the foundation of towns like Timbuctoo, in the transmission of ideas particularly from Mamluk Egypt, their mystic lodges and their scholars played a key role in the penetration of Islam into the remote regions of the Southern Sahara. This is a comprehensive account of the history and spread of Islamic culture through the medium of the sacerdotal 'caste' of the Ineslemen, from the Arab conquests of the 7th century to the golden age of Tuareg scholarship in the 15th and 17th centuries. Tuareg history is brought up to date with an account of their resistance to the French and their present status in Niger after their severe sufferings in the recent Sahelian droughts. By detailed examination of the literary sources, talking and living with Tuareg scholars, the author is able to place the contribution of these devoted adherents of Islam in its true setting. This book is important for Islamists Africanists, Anthropologists and all those who wish to understand the achievements of this unique people. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Warminster bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1704 bibo:numPages 234 -- o:id 5400 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5400 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Haut-Sénégal-Niger (Soudan Français) - Tome 3 : Les Civilisations dcterms:subject French West Africa Upper Senegal and Niger dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25204 dcterms:date 1912 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312376 Q117312376 iwac-reference-0000679 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/456 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1693 bibo:numPages 316 -- o:id 5401 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5401 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Haut-Sénégal-Niger (Soudan Français) - Tome 2 : L'histoire dcterms:subject French West Africa Upper Senegal and Niger dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25204 dcterms:date 1912 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312375 Q117312375 iwac-reference-0000680 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/456 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1693 bibo:numPages 428 -- o:id 5402 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5402 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Haut-Sénégal-Niger (Soudan Français) dcterms:subject French West Africa Upper Senegal and Niger dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25204 dcterms:date 1912 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116785086 Q116785086 iwac-reference-0000681 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/456 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1693 bibo:numPages 488 -- o:id 5403 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5403 o:resource_template Thesis and dissertation o:resource_class bibo:Thesis o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Islam and Political Contestation in the Sahel: Protests, Riots, and Jihadist Insurgencies in Mauritania, Niger, and Mali dcterms:subject Mauritania Niger Mali jihad riot dcterms:publisher University of Florida dcterms:date 2018 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8649 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295132 Q116295132 iwac-reference-0000621 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/357 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/539 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Gainesville bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1728 bibo:numPages 290 -- o:id 5404 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5404 o:resource_template Thesis and dissertation o:resource_class bibo:Thesis o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title The Invention of Order: Republican Codes and Islam Law in Niger dcterms:subject law politics state dcterms:publisher University of Florida dcterms:date 2009 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8649 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312349 Q117312349 iwac-reference-0000622 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract In the last two decades of the twentieth century, crucial processes of political and economic liberalizations transformed the political landscape in much of the post-colonial world. The reigning theory of modernization which was pegged in the era of political emancipation to national development and authoritarian secular stratecraft came under the various challenges of human rights defending groups and the promoters of cultural nationalism. These groups boldly seek to rewrite the history and the future of political modernity, and in many countries, cultural nationalism took the form of an Islamist political project. Through historical and contemporary analysis of topical events and collective processes in Niger - a country ruled by a secular, democratizing state and consisting of a majoritarily Muslim citizenry - this dissertation seeks to uncover the depths and orientations of secularist and Islamist movements in a post-colonial context. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Gainesville bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1236 bibo:numPages 376 -- o:id 5405 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5405 o:resource_template Thesis and dissertation o:resource_class bibo:Thesis o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Ulama and Democratization in Niger: A Critique of Secularism dcterms:subject democratization 'ālim secularism dcterms:publisher Arizona State University dcterms:date 2005 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8571 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q113528355 Q113528355 iwac-reference-0000623 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Phoenix bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 bibo:numPages 148 -- o:id 5406 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5406 o:resource_template Thesis and dissertation o:resource_class bibo:Thesis o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Modern Utopia and the Colony: Controlling Maradi dcterms:subject colonialism politics Maradi authority dcterms:publisher University of Kansas dcterms:date 2003 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8571 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312347 Q117312347 iwac-reference-0000624 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Lawrence bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1236 bibo:numPages 73 -- o:id 5407 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5407 o:resource_template Thesis and dissertation o:resource_class bibo:Thesis o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title The construction of Muslim identities and social change in Zinder, Republic of Niger dcterms:subject social change Zinder dcterms:publisher Michigan State University dcterms:date 1997 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8649 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312344 Q117312344 iwac-reference-0000625 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract Social scientists have long debated the appropriate perspective from which to study cultural phenomena. On one side are objectivist perspectives which focus on structure and the constraints society places on the individual. Conversely, subjectivist approaches centralize the actions of the individual and are thus concerned with the influence the individual has on society. In this study of Muslim identity construction in Zinder, Niger is used as a vehicle for mediating objectivist and subjectivist views of culture. Practice theory provides the framework for the analysis of Muslim identity construction in Zinder which in turn furthers an understanding of the relationship between structure and practice. Based on data collected in Zinder during individual interviews, group interviews and participant observation, several conclusions emerge. First, a consideration of both objectivist and subjectivist perspectives is important for understanding cultural phenomena. Second, this is evident in the dialectical relationship which exists between structure and practice as seen in the dialectical relationship which exists between society and the individual. And finally, although both perspectives need to be considered, it is by focusing on the actions of individuals that one learns the most about culture. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance East Lansing bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1691 bibo:numPages 424 -- o:id 5408 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5408 o:resource_template Thesis and dissertation o:resource_class bibo:Thesis o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title La transmission du savoir religieux en Afrique subsaharienne : exemple du commentaire coranique à Saayi (Niger) dcterms:subject Qur’an knowledge tafsir Say dcterms:publisher Paris-Sorbonne University - Paris IV dcterms:date 1996 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8649 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312345 Q117312345 iwac-reference-0000626 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract The first calling of every theocratic centre is the acquisition and the transmission of the religious knowledge. Saayi has been accomplishing this mission since its creation in the xiii xixth century. This knowledge, based on the koran, is passed on in different ways. The example of the translation and commentary of the koran in saayi shows the importance of its understanding, or partly, to accomplish rites and practices. In south-saharan africa, the source text of the koranic commentary is al-galalayni's. The african translation is more a voice expressing the word of god than a classical way koranic commentary. This concision of the source text leaves few details related to the practical methods of cult, where the interest in the religious songs, draws its source from the koran, the prophetic tradition and in muslim case law books. The choice for the ramadan month to make this translationcommentary has given it, as time goes by, a ritual character in the same way as the great heathen agrarian events. La vocation primordiale de tout foyer theocratique est l'acquisition et la transmission du savoir religieux. Saayi accomplit cette mission depuis sa creation, au xiiie xixe siecle. Ce savoir, base sur le coran, se transmet de differentes manieres. L'exemple de la traduction et du commentaire du coran a saayi illustre l'importance de la comprehension de celui-ci, ne serait-ce qu'en partie, pour l'accomplissement des rites et des pratiques. En afrique sud-saharienne, le texte de base du commentaire coranique est celui d'algalalayni. La version en langues africaines qui en decoule est plutot une voix qui exprime la parole de dieu qu'un cmmentaire coranique au sens classique. Cette concision du texte de base laisse peu de details quant aux modalites pratiques du culte, d'ou l'interet accorde aux chants religieux qui puisent leurs sources dans le coran, la tradition prophetique, et dans des ouvrages de jurisprudence musulmane. Le choix du mois de ramadan pour accomplir cette traduction-commentaire lui a donne au fil du temps un caractere rituel au meme titre que les grands evenements agraires paiens. dcterms:spatial

chapitre examine la manière dont divers acteurs de l’Université Abdou Moumouni de Niamey, au Niger, perçoivent l’histoire du Niger, indépendant depuis 1960. À côté de l’historiographie universitaire, composante majeure de l’histoire nationale officielle, des étudiants et des leaders religieux produisent également des récits historicisants que ce chapitre se propose de comparer. Quel rapport ces différents acteurs entretiennent-ils au passé et quelle(s) histoire(s) racontent-ils ? Quelles temporalités mobilisent-ils ? Quel est le rôle de la religion dans ces discours historicisants ? Comme ce texte le montrera, ces discours cherchent dans l’histoire, parfois lointaine, les mythes fondateurs qui pourraient créer une adhésion des Nigériennes et des Nigériens à un projet national commun. Or, les appartenances ethniques, les affinités religieuses ou idéologiques, la mémoire collective, sont autant de rapports au passé qui compliquent la réalisation d’un contrat social nigérien. Dans une perspective anthropologique et historique, ce chapitre compare trois cas qui mettent en évidence différentes visions de l’histoire par rapport à l’historiographie universitaire. L’objectif est de comprendre dans quelle mesure l’histoire est au cœur des enjeux de cohésion sociale et nationale au Niger, mais aussi la manière dont les individus cherchent dans le passé les ressources nécessaires pour se projeter dans l’avenir. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Berlin bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1681 bibo:editorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/858 bibo:pageEnd 217 bibo:pageStart 191 -- o:id 5447 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5447 o:resource_template Book chapter o:resource_class bibo:Chapter o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title « Tuba », une construction de l'identité religieuse par les étudiants salafis et pentecôtistes de l'Université Abdou Moumouni de Niamey, Niger dcterms:subject Salafism religious conversion Christianity in Niger Pentecostalism dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25234 dcterms:date 2023 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8476 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q121125871 Q121125871 iwac-reference-0000515 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:alternative Religiosity on University Campuses in Africa: Trends and Experiences dcterms:abstract À la suite de l’avènement de la démocratie et de la liberté d’association au Niger au début des années 1990, les étudiants de l’Université Abdou Moumouni de Niamey mirent en place des associations confessionnelles afin d’organiser leurs activités religieuses. L’impact significatif du prosélytisme qui s’en est suivi fut la conversion et l’affirmation de l’identité religieuse des étudiants, tant musulmans que chrétiens, dans un espace marqué jadis par les idéologies marxistes-léninistes. Ce chapitre traite de la construction de l’identité religieuse des étudiants salafis et pentecôtistes en se focalisant sur le concept local de la tuba. En partant de l’exemple de deux étudiants, l’un salafi et l’autre pentecôtiste, le texte analyse les trajectoires des étudiants salafis et pentecôtistes et leurs discours respectifs. Ces deux cas constituent des figures de conversion les plus observées parmi les étudiants. Les résultats font ressortir deux figures de convertis : le radical, un converti interne, et le sabon tuba, un converti externe. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Berlin bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1727 bibo:editorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/858 bibo:pageEnd 139 bibo:pageStart 119 -- o:id 5495 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/5495 o:resource_template Report o:resource_class bibo:Report o:item_set/o:id 2193 2212 2222 2228 dcterms:title How far south will the Sahelian jihadists go? – Mapping Africa Transformations dcterms:publisher Sahel and West Africa Club dcterms:date 2023-08-16 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8596 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q123234037 Q123234037 iwac-reference-0000775 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract The jihadist groups that have laid waste to the Sahel over the past decade are creeping along the southern borders of Mali and Burkina Faso.

Les gouvernements composent avec elles ou cherchent à les utiliser en vue de renforcer une autorité parfois chancelante. Ce faisant, ils leur concèdent des créneaux d'autonomie qui les constituent parfois en "État dans l'État". De tels processus sont loin d'être uniformes, exclusifs ou immuables. Les phénomènes de politisation ou de repolitisation de l'Islam interfèrent avec d'autres processus, économiques, régionaux, ethniques, etc., et changent d'aspect selon les lieux, les groupes, les conjonctures, les stratégies des partenaires nationaux. La cohésion et la mobilisation des communautés islamiques en question sont également loin d'être assurées en toutes circonstances. L'auteur analyse le cas du Nigéria, du Niger er de la Haute-Volta. The " balkanization " of Africa south of the Sahara was parallel to a reorganization of local moslem society which reconstituted itself into national groupings corresponding to the new states. These new groupings enjoy international support. They have given themselves a new framework which is better integrated into the modem structures than were the traditional moslem frameworks. They have formed pressure groups, opposition groups and influential political forces. Governements negotiate with them and try to use them to shore up their sometimes shaky authority. In doing so the groupings obtain certain areas of autonomy and they thus sometimes develop into a " state within the state ". This process is far from being uniform, exclusive or unchanging. The phenomena of the politicization or repoliticization of Islam interfere with economie, regional, ethnie or other processes and vary according to place, the groups involved, the economic situation and the strategy of their national partners. Cohesion and mobilisation of the moslem communities concerned are also far from being certain under all circumstances. We intended to analyse three States in West Africa : Nigeria, Niger and Upper Volta. By taking together these different situations and the way they evolve we may obtain some pointers towards a deeper, broader and more systematic analysis of the politicization process of Islam, of national construction and of a plurality of political allegiances. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/546 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/541 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1256 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.3406/outre.1981.2291 10.3406/outre.1981.2291 bibo:issue 250 251 252 253 bibo:pageEnd 194 bibo:pageStart 156 bibo:volume 68 -- o:id 12644 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12644 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2217 2222 dcterms:title Mobilité marchande et urbanisation : les cas de Korhogo (Côte-d'Ivoire) et de Maradi (Niger) dcterms:subject Korhogo Maradi trade urbanization dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25042 dcterms:date 1993 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q115705845 Q115705845 iwac-reference-0000205 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract En prenant l'exemple de Korhogo, capitale du nord de la Côte d'Ivoire et quatrième ville du pays, et de Maradi, capitale commerciale et seconde ville du Niger, les auteurs décrivent des mouvements de population liés à des courants d'échanges et montrent leur impact sur l'urbanisation de ces deux agglomérations qui sont en de nombreux points comparables.

Based on a qualitative approach combining semi-structured interviews and direct and indirect observations, this article focuses, on the one hand, on the establishment of religious associations of Salafi, evangelical and Pentecostal students in this university. On the other hand, it analyses the affirmation of religious identity by these students. Through the dissemination of religious education initiated by these associations through Koranic schools and Bible studies, religiosity has acquired great importance among the students who take part. L’Université Abdou Moumouni de Niamey (UAM), marquée au début de sa création dans les années 1970 par les idéologies marxistes-léninistes, connait depuis la fin des années 1980 une montée des pratiques religieuses estudiantines organisées par des associations religieuses estudiantines chrétiennes et musulmanes. Basée sur une approche qualitative combinant des entretiens semi-directifs et des observations directes et indirectes, cet article s’intéresse, d’une part, à la mise en place des associations religieuses d’étudiants salafis, évangélique et pentecôtistes dans cette université. Et d’autre part, il analyse l’affirmation de l’identité religieuse par ces étudiants à travers : la diffusion de l’enseignement religieux, les écoles coraniques et les études bibliques.

Scholars often focused on this type of religious activism and yet didn’t study the associations’ educational agenda comprehensively. This article intends to fill this gap by examining the socioreligious activities of the Association des Étudiants Musulmans du Niger (AEMN) and the impact of its educational discourse at the Université Abdou Moumouni (UAM) in Niamey, Niger. Mainly relying on empirical data gained through participant observation and interviews, it explores the ways the association pervades and shapes the educational landscape, notably by establishing partnerships beyond the university. The association’s leaders, so it appears, promote an educational ethos that redefines the role of academia and its benefits for the Nigerien society. Correlating students’ religiosity with academic performance, they try to reconcile Islamic values with scientific knowledge in the process of producing the future elites of the nation. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1681 bibo:issue 1 bibo:pageEnd 127 bibo:pageStart 108 bibo:volume 4 -- o:id 12731 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12731 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Explaining the Rise of Jihadism in Africa: The Crucial Case of the Islamic State of the Greater Sahara dcterms:subject Islamic State in the Greater Sahara Jihadism dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25139 dcterms:date 2022 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q120229526 Q120229526 iwac-reference-0000231 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract While jihadism appears to be on the rise in Africa, the explanations of violent extremist groups’ capacity to foment jihadi insurgencies and mobilize recruits remain poorly understood. Recent studies have challenged the assumption that the rise of jihadism in Africa is the result of poor governance in areas of limited state reach, highlighting instead the significance of the (perception of) abuses perpetrated by state authorities. Looking at collective action and its structural determinants, it is rather state action—and not the lack thereof—that best explains the capacity of mobilization of jihadi insurgencies in African borderlands. In order to test this theory in a least-likely case, the article explores the genealogy and evolution of the Islamic State in the Greater Sahara (ISGS), mobilizing extensive qualitative evidence. Borrowing the analytical framework from civil war studies, it argues that the contentious political dynamics observed in Niger’s borderlands amount to a case of symmetric non-conventional warfare, where abuses perpetrated by state proxies trigger an escalation of homegrown terrorism. It therefore supplies a further specification of the theories investigating the complex interplay between the processes of jihadi mobilization/rebel governance and the practices of counter-terrorism in weak states. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1822 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1080/09546553.2020.1828078 10.1080/09546553.2020.1828078 bibo:issue 8 bibo:pageEnd 1646 bibo:pageStart 1632 bibo:volume 34 -- o:id 12732 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12732 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Reinterpreting the Role of Muslims in the West African Middle Ages dcterms:subject history of Africa Sahel Islamic cleric empire dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25145 dcterms:date 2020 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295165 Q116295165 iwac-reference-0000232 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract Recent research points to a renewed scholarly interest in the West African Middle Ages and the Sahelian imperial tradition.

This essay tackles theoretical and historiographical insights on the role of African Muslims in the era of the medieval empires and argues that the study of Islam in this region during the Middle Ages still suffers from undertheorizing. On the contrary, by using a ‘discursive approach’ scholars can unravel access to fascinating aspects of the history of West African Muslims and in particular to the crucial role played by clerical communities, who represented one node of the web of diffused authority which is characteristic of precolonial West African social and political structures. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1705 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1017/S0021853720000584 10.1017/S0021853720000584 bibo:issue 3 bibo:pageEnd 340 bibo:pageStart 327 bibo:volume 61 -- o:id 12733 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12733 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Islamic scholarship on the Hausa / Kanuri frontier: the Malamai of Mirriah dcterms:subject Hausa people scholarship Kanuri people teacher Mirriah dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25044 dcterms:date 2019 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q67202892 Q67202892 iwac-reference-0000233 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract This paper provides a glimpse of Islamic scholarship in Mirriah, Niger Republic, at a particular point in time, 1974–1975, before some of the latest currents of religious unrest erupted in West Africa. Through interviews with local scholars, it examines the degree to which they participated in a West African “core curriculum” shared with other Islamic scholars across the Sahel. It also explores the history of the malamai class in Mirriah, noting significant ties to the Bornu empire. Both the ruling dynasty and Mirriah itself also exemplify the process of “becoming Hausa”: people of diverse origins have come to define themselves as Hausa, adopting the Hausa language and the religion of Islam. Cet article offre un éclairage sur les études islamiques à Mirriah, République du Niger, dans une période particulière de l’histoire (1974-75), avant l’émergence de certains des courants sous-jacents aux troubles religieux les plus récents en Afrique de l’Ouest. À travers des entretiens avec des érudits locaux, il examine à quel point ces derniers ont participé à un « programme de base » Ouest-Africain, partagé avec d’autres érudits islamiques dans le Sahel. Il explore aussi l’histoire de la classe littéraire malamai à Mirriah, en relevant des liens importants avec l’Empire Bornu. Aussi bien la dynastie dirigeante que la ville de Mirriah elle-même illustrent également le processus du « devenir Hausa » : des personnes d’origines diverses en sont venues à se définir comme Hausa, adopter la langue Hausa et la religion musulmane. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1699 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1080/00083968.2019.1576531 10.1080/00083968.2019.1576531 bibo:issue 2 bibo:pageEnd 315 bibo:pageStart 295 bibo:volume 53 -- o:id 12734 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12734 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Governing the Faithful: State Management of Salafi Activity in the Francophone Sahel dcterms:subject state Salafism Sahel Francophone governance dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25049 dcterms:date 2019 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295116 Q116295116 iwac-reference-0000234 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract The article examines how four states in the francophone Sahel have managed Salafi activity since independence. States that established institutional oversight mechanisms in the Islamic sphere prior to the emergence of Saudi Arabia as a global exporter of Salafi ideology have effectively counteracted the rise of political and jihadi Salafism in recent decades. Autocratic incumbents created national Islamic associations, determined the leadership makeup of these, and delegated state authority to non-Salafi leaders so as to regulate access to the Islamic sphere. The tacit cooperation arrangements between state and nonstate actors enabled the former to demobilize religious challengers. States that chose strategies other than institutional regulation contributed to the rise of political and security challengers. These findings challenge conventional assumptions about the inability of weak states to regulate their religious spheres and shed new light on the complex relationship between weak states and Islam. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1230 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.5129/001041519825256588 10.5129/001041519825256588 bibo:issue 2 bibo:pageEnd 218 bibo:pageStart 199 bibo:volume 51 -- o:id 12735 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12735 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Les trajectoires du salafisme politique au Sahel.

This tension, the author argues, has fostered the emergence of a specific political ideology, political Salafism. To illustrate these developments, the paper uses the case of Niger, a country at the heart of the Sahel that seems to be spared by the violence that is affecting its neighbors, but where political Salafism has made some inroads at the expense of its ideological enemy, secularism. The paper also shows that the Salafists’ successes have been tempered by historical, sociological, and economic conditions specific to this Sahelian context. Au-delà de la violence du terrorisme et du djihadisme qui caractérisent certaines parties du Sahel, la région tout entière est confrontée à ce que nous désignons ici comme « la question de l’islam », c’est-à-dire les rapports tendus entre un État basé sur des principes démocratiques et séculiers, et une société où l’hégémonie culturelle de l’islam s’est affirmée, en particulier depuis les années 1990. Cette tension, soutient l’article, a servi de terreau propice à l’émergence d’une idéologie politique particulière, le salafisme politique. L’article illustre cette évolution en se servant du cas du Niger, pays central du Sahel qui paraît relativement épargné par la violence qui frappe ses voisins, mais dans lequel le salafisme politique a marqué des points contre son ennemi idéologique, le sécularisme. L’article montre également que les succès salafistes sont tempérés par les conditions – historiques, sociologiques, économiques – propres à ce contexte sahélien. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1236 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.3917/POLAF.149.0043 10.3917/POLAF.149.0043 bibo:issue 149 bibo:pageEnd 65 bibo:pageStart 43 -- o:id 12736 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12736 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Religion, Morality, and Boko: Students Training for a Good Life dcterms:subject Remoboko dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25153 dcterms:date 2018 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q113528364 Q113528364 iwac-reference-0000236 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.5070/F7402040948 10.5070/F7402040948 bibo:issue 2 bibo:pageEnd 171 bibo:pageStart 169 bibo:volume 40 -- o:id 12737 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12737 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title The Use of the Mobile Phone for Religious Mobilization in Niger Republic dcterms:subject Niamey proselytism technology dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25143 dcterms:date 2017 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295090 Q116295090 iwac-reference-0000237 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract While many scholars have studied the ways in which the Internet and online social networks are shaping contemporary religious practices and how new information and communication technologies are supporting networked forms of religious activism, only a few have analyzed the relationships between religion and the use of the mobile phone in African countries. However, in Africa as elsewhere, mobile phones are influencing the everyday practices of religion in multiple ways that are not simply anecdotal but affect beliefs and behaviors and raise ethical concerns among believers. In some cases (e.g., divorce, Qur’an verses, ringtones, prayer disruption), religious authorities have been obliged to draw up rules and provide guidance to the faithful. This article seeks to identify the opportunities offered and the challenges posed to religion by the introduction of mobile phones in Niamey, the capital-city of Niger Republic. It specifically examines how believers are using this device to mobilize co-religionists, to maintain religious ties and religious faith, as well as how they are coping with the challenges and seeking to resolve related issues. The article argues that the mobile phone is helping mediate in new ways and in a new context the religious norms and behaviors that have always guided Muslim communities. In other words, the advent of the mobile phone offers new opportunities but also poses new challenges to believers who strive to cope with this new phenomenon by inventing new ways to integrate the device into everyday practices. The article is based on semi-structured interviews carried out in June, July, and August 2009 in Niger’s capital city, Niamey, with ordinary Nigerien Muslims. It combines qualitative data obtained through interviews and observation with demographic statistics and survey results to describe the role the mobile phone plays in the current evolution of Islam in Niger. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1697 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1002/J.1681-4835.2017.TB00618.X 10.1002/J.1681-4835.2017.TB00618.X bibo:issue 10 bibo:pageEnd 19 bibo:pageStart 1 bibo:volume 83 -- o:id 12738 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12738 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Salafi Aesthetics: Preaching Among the Sunnance in Niamey, Niger dcterms:subject Salafism Niamey preaching dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25089 dcterms:date 2017 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q113528343 Q113528343 iwac-reference-0000238 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract In their effort to contribute to Islamic reform in Niamey, young Salafi (Sunnance) have embraced preaching and have made it part of their religious practice. As preachers or audience members, they invest time and energy to imagine various ways to popularize the Sunna, the tradition of the prophet Muhammad. Because of the jokes, mimicry, and theatrics that characterize their preaching style, their critics have rejected their initiatives, claiming they are unqualified and therefore should not be allowed to preach. In response, Sunnance have argued that an effective sermon (wazu) requires art, skills, ingenuity and know-how (iyawa, hikma in Hausa). By examining how aesthetics are central to Sunnance popular and street preaching, this article invites a reexamination of Salafism through its aesthetic forms. Wazu is not just a gathering that seeks to deliver a message, be it divine; it is also a way to promote religiosity through particular cultural and aesthetic performances. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1163/15700666-12340101 10.1163/15700666-12340101 bibo:issue 1 bibo:pageEnd 41 bibo:pageStart 9 bibo:volume 47 -- o:id 12739 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12739 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Introduction.

In 2014, a few Boko Haram groups decided to retreat to the Lake Chad region prior to the creation of a coalition piloted by Nigeria and its neighbors to combat the organization. The occupation of the lake by Boko Haram has resulted in a veritable regional security problem, with it becoming an epicenter for armed violence. Niger and Chad have responded by seeking to depopulate their respective parts of the lake, while Nigeria has closed access to the lake and Cameroon has not taken any action. The security response by countries involved in combatting Boko Haram has seriously worsened the disastrous current economic climate. Pour échapper aux images des médias concernant Boko Haram, il convient de redéfinir les contours de ce soulèvement islamiste, rappeler ses bases sociales entre guildes de métiers et mosquées populeuses, revenir sur sa structuration religieuse qui, en dépit de la rétraction de ses espaces territoriaux de conquête, n’en garde pas moins son élan mystique, renforçant même ses « vocations » au martyr. Quelques groupes de Boko Haram ont fait le choix de se replier sur le lac Tchad dès 2014, précédant la mise en place, contre eux, de la coalition du Nigeria et de ses voisins. Cette occupation du lac par Boko Haram pose un véritable problème sécuritaire régional. Désormais, le lac est devenu l’épicentre de la violence armée. Niger et Tchad y répondent en cherchant à vider de leurs habitants leurs parties du lac respectives, le Nigeria en verrouillant le lac, alors que le Cameroun est resté sans réaction. La réponse sécuritaire des États engagés contre Boko Haram a grandement aggravé le désastre économique actuel. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1730 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.3917/AFCO.259.0139 10.3917/AFCO.259.0139 bibo:issue 3 bibo:pageEnd 167 bibo:pageStart 139 bibo:volume 259 -- o:id 12742 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12742 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title The "Protests against Charlie Hebdo" in Niger: A Background Analysis dcterms:subject protest Charlie Hebdo dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25009 dcterms:date 2015 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295162 Q116295162 iwac-reference-0000242 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract In many Muslim countries in West Africa and beyond, “protests against Charlie Hebdo” occurred when citizens went out on the streets following Friday prayers on 16 January 2015. However, only in Niger did these protests turn extremely violent. This report analyses the social, political and religious workings behind the protests in Niger. In doing so, it shows that the so-called “protests against Charlie Hebdo” are only superficially linked to the Muhammad cartoons by the French satirical magazine. Similarly violent protests have occurred in Niger – often in the town of Zinder – for quite different reasons and on different occasions in recent years. The report therefore argues against simplistic notions of religious fundamentalism and shows that the protests can be explained more appropriately in terms of politics and socio-economic exclusion. Wie in vielen muslimischen Ländern nicht nur in Westafrika kam es auch in Niger zu “Protesten gegen Charlie Hebdo”; am 16. Januar 2015 gingen Menschen nach dem Freitagsgebet auf die Straße. Die Proteste verliefen jedoch nur in Niger extrem gewalttätig. Dieser Beitrag analysiert die sozialen, politischen und religiösen Hintergründe der Proteste in Niger. Der Autor legt dar, dass die sogenannten “Proteste gegen Charlie Hebdo” nur oberflächlich gesehen auf die Mohammed-Karikaturen des französischen Satiremagazins zurückzuführen sind. Zu ähnlich gewalttätigen Protesten war es in Niger und insbesondere in der Stadt Zinder in den letzten Jahren wiederholt gekommen, und zwar aus ganz anderen Gründen und zu ganz unterschiedlichen Anlässen. Der Autor wendet sich daher gegen simplifizierende Vorstellungen eines islamistischen Fundamentalismus in Niger. Er belegt, dass die Proteste zutreffender mit politischen Dynamiken und sozioökonomischer Ausgrenzung erklärt werden können. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1708 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1177/000203971505000104 10.1177/000203971505000104 bibo:issue 1 bibo:pageEnd 64 bibo:pageStart 49 bibo:volume 50 -- o:id 12743 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12743 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Autocratic Legacies and State Management of Islamic Activism in Niger dcterms:subject autocracy state activism dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25011 dcterms:date 2015 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295118 Q116295118 iwac-reference-0000243 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract In contrast to similar organizations in its neighbouring countries, Niger's domestic Salafi associations have remained peaceful and apolitical. Drawing on historical institutionalist scholarship and on recent conceptualizations of the state as a religious actor, this article examines how the Nigerien state has tried to regulate religious practices since Seyni Kountché's military coup in 1974. It argues that the institutional regulation of religious practices is one important variable that accounts for Niger's deviant trajectory. During Niger's autocratic period (1974–91), the government established the Association islamique du Niger (AIN) as the sole legal authority regulating access to Niger's Friday prayer mosques. Committed to peaceful and apolitical interpretations of the Koran, the AIN confined access to Niger's religious sphere to local clerics and Sufi brotherhoods. After the breakdown of autocratic rule in 1991, the AIN served as a religious advisory body. Salafi associations could assemble freely but had to abide by certain criteria. Confronted with the prospect of Islamic violence in 2000, the Nigerien state intervened in Niger's religious sphere in several ways. Among other initiatives, the government began to resurrect a more rigorous system of religious supervision in order to monitor religious practices on an ongoing basis. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1230 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1093/AFRAF/ADV039 10.1093/AFRAF/ADV039 bibo:issue 457 bibo:pageEnd 597 bibo:pageStart 577 bibo:volume 114 -- o:id 12744 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12744 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Irwo Sunnance yan-no!

The Sunnance have become a social formation only recently, but have earnestly and regularly taken the stage to lay the ground for a new expression and understanding of the Izala reform agenda. They claim to be Izala though they have consistently taken theological positions and promoted practices that challenge and break with Izala “orthodoxy.” These developments, the article argues, are the manifestation of the Izala effect, an intra and inter-Muslim dynamic that is gradually reshaping both anti-Sufism dear to Salafism and Sufi practices.

I argue that both the intellectual life and the social and moral models that ensued result in a new knowledge economy, expand the modes of expression of religiosity while they make French, along with Arabic and Hausa, a key Islamic idiom. More than a linguistic shift, this process is also epistemic, sociological and philosophical which bridges two cultural types that have been so far perceived as mutually exclusive. Comment l’idéal d’un ordre moral et éthique fondé sur des valeurs islamiques s’exprime-t-il au sein de l’élite francophone nigérienne désormais non pas seulement consommatrice, mais surtout productrice de discours et de pratiques qui vont s’imposer comme des éléments d’une nouvelle culture islamique ? Je soutiens que la vie intellectuelle et les modèles sociaux et moraux qui en découlent introduisent une nouvelle économie du savoir, étendent l’univers d’expression de la religiosité en faisant du français aussi une langue islamique à côté de l’arabe et du hausa.

The author investigates how these media are produced and circulated during the Wa’zin kasa, a three-day international preaching rally, and how they play an active role in popularizing Izala’s discourses and practices and in shaping a moral community. The author illustrates that the mobility of these small media has instigated a media dynamic that has transformed the mediascape in Niger and produced new actors and new religious discourses. These ‘Sunna media’ have played an important role in the spread of the reformist movement, and in the establishment of new forms of authority. In the case of the Izala movement, they have also generated a specific religiosity. Au Niger, Izala est un mouvement réformiste musulman bien établi et connu pour son usage stratégique des « petits médias ». L’auteur interroge la production et la circulation de ces petits médias pendant le Wa’zin kasa, un festival international de prédication qui se déroule durant trois jours. Comment ces petits médias contribuent-ils à la popularisation du discours d’Izala et de ses pratiques ? Et comment construisent-ils une communauté morale ? L’auteur montre que la mobilité de ces petits médias a engendré un dynamisme médiatique qui a transformé le paysage médiatique au Niger et a produit de nouveaux acteurs et de nouveaux discours religieux. Les « médias sunna » n’ont pas seulement joué un rôle majeur dans la diffusion de la réforme morale et dans l’établissement de nouvelles formes d’autorité, mais ils ont aussi généré, dans le cas d’Izala, une religiosité spécifique. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1177/0037768613514309 10.1177/0037768613514309 bibo:issue 1 bibo:pageEnd 29 bibo:pageStart 21 bibo:volume 61 -- o:id 12747 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12747 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Alarama is all at once: preacher, media "savvy", and religious entrepreneur in Niamey dcterms:subject entrepreneur media preaching Niamey dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25084 dcterms:date 2013 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q113528352 Q113528352 iwac-reference-0000247 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract In Niger, the role of the media in the re-islamization process that began two decades ago has remained understudied.

It draws on a series of fieldwork studies undertaken in Niamey during the last two years. It focuses on Alarama, a young preacher and one of the most prominent media figures in Niamey. In addition to a series of TV and FM radio programmes he hosts, he has also developed recording and distribution practices that have resulted in the Islamic discotheque, a space that helps him popularize his CD and DVD sermons. I analyse how he has gathered around himself an expanding group of followers, many of whom have developed with him a fan–star relationship. Alarama's case exemplifies the way audiovisual media are constitutive of a new urban Islamic culture, which in return redefines media appropriation and religious imagination. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1080/13696815.2012.749782 10.1080/13696815.2012.749782 bibo:issue 1 bibo:pageEnd 102 bibo:pageStart 88 bibo:volume 25 -- o:id 12748 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12748 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Heirs of the Sheikh Izala and its Appropriation of Usman Dan Fodio in Niger dcterms:subject Izala Society Uthman Dan Fodio dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25041 dcterms:date 2012 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q113528345 Q113528345 iwac-reference-0000248 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract The academic accounts of Islamic reform in Niger have focused on the Izala movement, reducing it to an anti-Sufism. When these representations stress the wahhabi-salafi tendency of this movement, not only Izala appears as the Sufi foe, it is also viewed as a brand of Islamic discourse of foreign origin. This article shows that these accounts have told only part of the genealogy of Izala. References to Sheikh Usman Dan Fodio’s 19th century jihad are pervasive in Izala discourse despite the fact that he was affiliated with the Qadiriyya Sufi order. Dan Fodi’s acts, deeds and ideas are consistently read as Izala moments. The evidence presented is based on the pronouncements made by two Izala organizations. Both illustrate how the Izala reform has continuously appropriated and reinvented the legacy of Usman Dan Fodio, recasting this historical figure as the “true” Sunni and the Sheikh of the Sunna. Theoretically, what is at stake here is not so much how Izala operates, but how accounts of this movement have relied on a dichotomy Sufi/Anti-Sufi which contributes to rigidify our categories and therefore handicap our conceptual apparatus. In this sense, while highlighting how Usman Dan Fodio has become a “lieu de memoire”, this article seeks to shed some light on the genealogy of this Islamic reform discourse, and interrogate the categories used to characterize it. What the Izala appropriation of Usman Dan Fodio achieves is not so much a call to redefine Izala, as a readjustment of our conceptual map, which seeks to make sense of this movement. Les études d’Izala au Niger ont surtout porté sur des caractères qui ont réduit ce mouvement de réforme islamique à un anti-soufisme. À travers les représentations qui mettent en exergue ses tendances wahabi-salafistes, Izala apparaît non seulement à l’opposé du soufisme, mais est aussi perçu comme un mouvement venu d’ailleurs. Cet article démontre que ces représentations ne font qu’une généalogie partielle d’Izala. En effet, malgré son appartenance à la confrérie Qadiriyya, Usman Dan Fodio inspire beaucoup les discours et les pratiques Izala. Dans les milieux Izala, son œuvre, ses actes et ses idées sont aujourd’hui perçus comme de véritables moments izala. La thèse avancée par l’auteur repose sur les discours et les représentations de deux organisations qui illustrent toutes les deux la façon dont Izala se réapproprie et réinvente l’héritage d’Usman Dan Fodio tout en le célébrant comme le véritable sunnite et cheikh de la sunna. D’un point de vue théorique, l’intérêt de la démarche ici est moins d’analyser le mode d’action d’Izala, que de noter la façon dont la littérature sur ce mouvement s’est surtout inspirée d’une dichotomie soufi/anti-soufi, qui, dans le cas d’espèce, contribue à une rigidité des catégories et de l’appareil conceptuel que nous utilisons pour rendre compte de ce mouvement. De ce point de vue, en analysant comment Usman Dan Fodio est présenté comme un “lieu de mémoire”, cet article voudrait porter un éclairage nouveau sur la généalogie de ce discours de réforme et en même temps interroger les catégories utilisées pour le décrire. En fait, l’intérêt de cette appropriation d’Usman Dan Fodio réside moins dans l’interpellation à redéfinir Izala que dans la nécessité de repenser notre dispositif conceptuel face à ce courant. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.4000/ETUDESAFRICAINES.17066 10.4000/ETUDESAFRICAINES.17066 bibo:issue 206 207 bibo:pageEnd 447 bibo:pageStart 427 -- o:id 12749 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12749 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Gendered Media and Gendered Religion: Female Preachers, Audiovisual Media and the Construction of Religious Authority in Niamey dcterms:subject gender authority mass media preaching dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25048 dcterms:date 2011 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312333 Q117312333 iwac-reference-0000249 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 bibo:issue 3 4 bibo:pageEnd 31 bibo:pageStart 27 -- o:id 12750 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12750 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Doing Development the Islamic Way in Contemporary Niger dcterms:subject development dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25034 dcterms:date 2011 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q113528347 Q113528347 iwac-reference-0000250 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract The rare literature on Islam in Niger that has addressed the contribution of Islamic organizations to the broad domain of development, has most often focused on the controversies involving these organizations, their elite entrepreneurs on one side, and state officials on the other side. Criticism and rejection have not been the only attitudes toward state-sponsored initiatives. Participation has also been a pattern of these interactions. Whether with family planning or HIV/AIDs projects, ulama have contributed if not to run these initiatives, at least to raise awareness among communities across the country. In addition to local organizations, many international Islamic agencies have initiated several well-digging programs, charity programs and assistance to undertrained young Nigeriens. This has given “Islamic development” a materiality since the emergence of an Islamic sphere seeking to provide Islam with a normative role in all domains of public life. For a long time development has remained the preserve of the state, in particular because of the theoretical assumption that state mediates development. With the emergence of a civil society in the 1990s, this statist consideration gave way to the philosophies of “local development” stressing the local appropriation of development initiatives. With the idea of doing Aid and assistance the Islamic way, a universe of discourse has opened up enriching the problematic of development by emphasizing the faith factor. This contribution looks at how Islamic development actors intend to promote and mediate development by focusing on communication, managerial skills and ethics. La rare littérature sur l’Islam au Niger qui porte sur les organisations islamiques participant aux processus de développement se focalise le plus souvent sur les conflits qu’elles entretiennent avec l’État. Or, les relations entre pouvoirs publics et organisations islamiques sont aussi fondées sur des collaborations. Ainsi s’agissant de la planification familiale ou des projets de lutte contre le VIH-Sida, des ulamas contribuent à ces initiatives en sensibilisant les populations partout dans le pays. En outre, elles initient des programmes de charité. Ce « développement islamique » révèle combien la sphère islamique s’investit dans différents domaines de la vie publique alors que pendant longtemps les politiques de développement sont restées un domaine réservé de l’État. Avec l’émergence d’une société civile dans les années 1990, cette considération est remplacée par des idéologies du développement fondées sur l’appropriation locale. L’idée de faire de l’assistance et de l’aide selon une « voie islamique » ouvre à tout un registre de discours mettant l’accent sur le facteur de la foi. La présente contribution traite des manières par lesquelles les acteurs islamiques du développement promeuvent des formes singulières de communication, de compétences de gestion, et d’éthique. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.4000/APAD.4084 10.4000/APAD.4084 bibo:issue 33 -- o:id 12751 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12751 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title "Go Find the Second Half of Your Faith With These Women!"

Several authors have also examined the Islamic ethical project as a set of norms and values that seek to inform not only individual behavior but also public action. So far, however, very little has been written about the tools of this project of moral transformation, in particular when it grounds itself in the reproduction and reinterpretation of Islamic norms. Studies of Islam in Niger, for example, have rarely mentioned the fact that the medium of proselytizing is generally sermons recorded on CDs and DVDs. Within the last few years, the local production of these media has grown significantly, adding to the already dynamic sector of imported Islamic CDs and DVDs. This paper proposes an ethnographic study of these media : their emergence, structuring and reception. How is manufacturing undertaken ? Who are the principal actors involved ? Why CDs and DVDs ? How do these media impact the production, reproduction and invention of norms in these renewed forms of Islam ? It focuses on the Niamey area where the preaching industry — which represents the basis for the production and circulation of Islamic CDs and DVDs — has a tripartite structure that includes preachers (who are now aware of the support these media bring to their discourses), “Islamic discotheques” (that distribute the media of this new moral economy), and audiences (seeking Islamic performances and “albums”). The data for this paper were collected during a series of field visits undertaken from 2007 to 2010. Les analystes de l’islam dans l’espace public nigérien ont évoqué l’importance sociale, politique et culturelle que le projet de réislamisation prend, en particulier en milieu urbain. Le projet d’éthique islamique comme domaine de normes et de valeurs qui doivent informer aussi bien les comportements individuels que les actions publiques a été aussi l’objet d’attention de la part d’un certain nombre d’auteurs. Mais très peu a été écrit sur les outils de ce projet de transformation morale qui se fonde sur une reproduction et réinterprétation des normes islamiques. Les CD et DVD de prédication, par exemple, ont été rarement mentionnés dans les études de l’islam au Niger. Cet article propose une ethnographie de ces médias. Il examine l’émergence, l’organisation et la réception de ce qu’il convient d’appeler aujourd’hui l’industrie du CD et DVD islamiques. Depuis quelques années, à un fonds qui était essentiellement importé, s’est ajouté une production locale de plus en plus dynamique. Comment cette industrie est-elle organisée ? Qui en sont les acteurs ? Pourquoi ce choix du CD et DVD ? Et finalement quel en est l’impact sur la production, la reproduction et la réinvention des normes de la réislamisation ? Le champ de mon étude se limite à la Communauté Urbaine de Niamey où l’industrie du prêche — sur lequel repose la production et la circulation des CD/DVD — est devenue une de ces nouvelles activités qui mettent en relation tripartite des prêcheurs de plus en plus conscients du bénéfice qu’ils peuvent tirer de ces médias ; les « discothèques islamiques », relais et distributeurs de cette nouvelle économie morale ; et un public de plus en plus demandeur de prestations et « albums » islamiques.

Departing from analyses that ask whether democracy can be established in Muslim societies, the key question is how the democratic question is framed and discussed in such religious contexts. The launching of African democratic experiments in the 1990s provoked significant negotiation and discussion both within religious society and between religious groups and the secular elite about the desired substance of democracy. These processes have gradually empowered Muslim majorities to challenge and nuance the agenda presented at the transitions, but this is a direct outcome of the democratic process itself. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1300 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.5129/001041510X12911363509954 10.5129/001041510X12911363509954 bibo:issue 4 bibo:pageEnd 393 bibo:pageStart 375 bibo:volume 42 -- o:id 12754 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12754 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title L'Islam et la femme dans l'espace public au Niger dcterms:subject gender citizenship public sphere dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25008 dcterms:date 2009 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116486775 Q116486775 iwac-reference-0000254 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract Le but de cet article est de montrer comment la femme nigérienne a négocié et continue de négocier sa citoyenneté dans un pays à 99 pour cent musulman. Dès l’indépendance, on voit nettement le jeu d’équilibre que faisait le président Diori Hamani pour préserver la laïcité du pays et les droits de chaque composante de la nation. En 1975, à la faveur de l’Année Internationale de la femme, celle-ci entre sur scène et depuis lors, elle revendique quotidiennement ses droits. La démocratisation de la société nigérienne à partir de la Conférence Nationale de 1991 a amené aussi dans l’espace public les associations musulmanes et chrétiennes, avec leurs revendications propres. Ce qui distingue ces nouvelles forces sociales de celles auxquelles l’Etat nigérien était habitué, c’était que celles-ci posaient des problèmes nouveaux, d’ordre religieux. Le débat a aussi engagé l’intelligentsia du pays, qui éclairait l’opinion. Toutes ces luttes citoyennes ont permis la prise en compte des femmes dans les choix politiques malgré les pesanteurs religieuses. The aim of this paper is to show how women in Niger have negotiated their citizenship in a country the population of which is 99 per cent Muslim. Right from independence, one could see the balancing game which former president Diori Hamani played to maintain the secularity of the state and the citizens’ rights. In 1975, taking advantage of the International Woman Year, women came into the public sphere, and have since then continued to demand their rights. The democratization of the Niger society, stemming from the 1991 National Conference, has brought in the public sphere Muslim and Christian associations with their own demands. What distinguished these movements from what the Niger State was used to was that they brought new issues in the public sphere, especially religious ones. The intellectual elite also played their enlightening role in this debate. All these different citizenship movements led to the consideration of women and their political choices despite religious interferences. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1733 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.4314/AD.V34I3-4.63531 10.4314/AD.V34I3-4.63531 bibo:issue 3 4 bibo:pageEnd 128 bibo:pageStart 111 bibo:volume 34 -- o:id 12755 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12755 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Speaking for Islam: Ulama, Laïcité, and Democratization dcterms:subject 'ālim secularism democratization dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25020 dcterms:date 2009 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q113528338 Q113528338 iwac-reference-0000255 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.35632/AJIS.V26I3.386 10.35632/AJIS.V26I3.386 bibo:pageEnd 127 bibo:pageStart 110 bibo:volume 23 -- o:id 12756 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12756 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Ambiguous Secularism: Islam, Laïcité and the State in Niger dcterms:subject secularism state dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25047 dcterms:date 2009 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q113528336 Q113528336 iwac-reference-0000256 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract In the early 1990s, democratization in Niger meant a political reform detached from the military rule, but also safe from religious influence. The adoption of the principle of a radical secularism (laïcité) sought, first, the autonomy of the political sphere from the religious one, and second, the submission of religious authority to the political one. The consecration of this principle led to the criticism of Muslim public actors who argued that such a principle was violating the religious identity of Niger’s society. This paper discusses the difficulty to separate the realm of politics from that of religion as Islamic organizations and Muslim actors have stepped into the political arena, articulating various religion-inspired discourses and seeking the conversion of Niger’s politics to Islam. Nowadays, this activism led to a rearrangement of the state’s position in relation to religiosity and its role in the public domain. This case of ambiguous secularism, I suggest, might be one of a reinterpretation not only of secularism, but of democratization itself. Au début des années 1990, la démocratisation a correspondu au Niger à une réforme politique rompant avec les régimes militaires, mais tenant aussi à l’écart les influences religieuses. L’adoption du principe de la laïcité visait d’abord à établir l’autonomie de la sphère politique par rapport à la sphère religieuse, et deuxièmement, la soumission de l’autorité religieuse à l’autorité politique. La consécration de ce principe amené à la critique d’acteurs musulmans qui ont fait valoir qu’un tel principe violait l’identité religieuse de la société nigérienne. Ce papier discute de la difficulté qu’il y a à séparer les réalités politique et religieuse, dans la mesure où des organisations islamiques ont désormais pris pied dans l’arène politique, professant divers discours inspirés par la religion et cherchant à convertir la politique nigérienne à l’islam. Aujourd’hui, cet activisme a mené au réarrangement de la position de l’État vis-à-vis de la religiosité et de son rôle public. Ce cas de sécularisme ambigu peut mener non seulement à une réinterprétation du sécularisme, mais aussi des processus de démocratisation eux-mêmes. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.4000/CIVILISATIONS.2025 10.4000/CIVILISATIONS.2025 bibo:issue 2 bibo:pageEnd 57 bibo:pageStart 41 bibo:volume 58 -- o:id 12757 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12757 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title When Spirits Start Veiling: The Case of the Veiled She-Devil in a Muslim Town of Niger dcterms:subject spirit Islamic clothing dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25010 dcterms:date 2008 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295204 Q116295204 iwac-reference-0000257 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract In Niger, women have long been seen as embodiments of virtue (or wickedness). Of late, with the rise of reformist Islam, their role as upholders of purity has become key to the definition of moral community. Debates over the control of female sexuality and the ordering of social spaces have intensified. While such debates are characteristically framed in Islamic terms, one should not assume that pre-Islamic cosmologies—often denigrated by Islam—have become irrelevant to local moral concerns. In August 2003, rumors of a veiled she-devil haunting the streets of Zinder in search of seductive encounters provoked a moral panic, which eventually received a full account in a Nigérien newspaper. Muslim reformists argued the apparition was meant to discourage women from veiling, but others countered that it served as a warning to philandering husbands. It demonstrated that far from waning under the impact of Islamic revivals, figures of the pre-Islamic past are well entrenched in Islamic towns. Besides suggesting that non-Muslim others cannot be consigned to history, the rumors of spiritual intrusion discussed in this article highlight the centrality of the non-Muslim other in popular constructions of Muslimhood. In an age of renewed Muslim anxiety about forms of femininity perceived to conflict with the image of virtuous womanhood, the she-devil offered Nigérien Muslims a means of pondering the dangers of women's sexuality. At another level, her tale is about spirits parodying Islam so as to reveal the limits of morality. By subversively playing with notions of modesty and morality, the spirit presented a sobering critique of the hypocrisy of the veil in contemporary Niger. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1684 bibo:issue 3 bibo:pageEnd 64 bibo:pageStart 39 bibo:volume 54 -- o:id 12758 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12758 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Witchcraft, Blood-Sucking Spirits, and the Demonization of Islam in Dogondoutchi, Niger dcterms:subject Dogondoutchi spirit witchcraft heritage dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25041 dcterms:date 2008 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116777421 Q116777421 iwac-reference-0000258 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract In this article, I discuss how the spread of Islam in the town of Dogondoutchi, Niger has profoundly transformed the local imaginary, helping fuel perceptions of witchcraft as a thoroughly Muslim practice. I suggest that it is because witchcraft is seen as a hallmark of tradition that Muslims, despite their claim to have embraced modernity, are accused of being witches. For a small minority unconvinced of the superiority of Islam over local religious traditions, witchcraft offers a convenient means of demonizing Muslims and a powerful commentary on the ways that the globalizing impact of Islam has supposedly transformed local modes of sociality and kinship as well as forms of wealth production and consumption. Cet article examine comment le développement de l’islam dans la ville de Dogondoutchi au Niger a profondément transformé l’imaginaire local, contribuant à la perception que la sorcellerie est une pratique musulmane. Je suggère que c’est précisément parce que la sorcellerie est perçue comme essentiellement liée à la tradition, que les musulmans sont accusés de sorcellerie malgré leur modernité. Pour ceux qui ne sont pas persuadés de la supériorité de l’islam sur les pratiques religieuses locales, la sorcellerie offre à la fois un moyen de diaboliser l’islam et un commentaire sur la façon dont l’islam a supposément transformé les modes locaux de socialité et de parenté ainsi que les formes de production et de consommation. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1684 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.4000/ETUDESAFRICAINES.10302 10.4000/ETUDESAFRICAINES.10302 bibo:issue 189 190 bibo:pageEnd 160 bibo:pageStart 131 -- o:id 12759 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12759 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Women, Religion, and the Discourses of Legal Ideology in Niger Republic dcterms:subject women in Islam secularism Islamism gender law dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25010 dcterms:date 2008 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295081 Q116295081 iwac-reference-0000259 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract There is an international movement that advocates the establishment of quotas for women, especially in political and governmental positions.

I trace the distinctive and divergent ways in which Mawri men and women of different generations participate in interpenetrating debates about wealth, domesticity, and sexuality to highlight how the experience of social reproduction is shaped by distinctly local dynamics of gender and generation. In contemporary Niger, the combined effects of neo-liberal economics and reformist Islam have massively transformed the terms and meaning of marriage. What emerges most conspicuously from this exploration of the ways in which processes of identity formation are played out in the controversial arena of marriage is the palpable sense of declining opportunities that young men experience as they delay marriage. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1684 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1111/J.1467-9655.2005.00226.X 10.1111/J.1467-9655.2005.00226.X bibo:issue 1 bibo:pageEnd 83 bibo:pageStart 59 bibo:volume 11 -- o:id 12761 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12761 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 2225 dcterms:title The Political & Economic Effects of Nigerian "Shari'a" on Southern Niger dcterms:subject law politics economy sharia Northern Nigeria informal economy dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25120 dcterms:date 2005 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312308 Q117312308 iwac-reference-0000261 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/541 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1734 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1080/03056240500329320 10.1080/03056240500329320 bibo:issue 104 105 bibo:pageEnd 415 bibo:pageStart 407 bibo:volume 32 -- o:id 12762 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12762 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Islamism in West Africa: Niger dcterms:subject Islamism dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25013 dcterms:date 2004 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295225 Q116295225 iwac-reference-0000262 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract This article posits that a new and important transformation is occurring in Sahelian society. Westerners have tended to see the rise of “Islamism” as just another rejection of globalization and modernization. This article argues that another interpretation is possible, one that looks at the rise of movements like Izala as an attempt of embryonic Hausa capitalists to become part of globalization by substituting a much more individualized set of beliefs and behaviors for the older social and normative constructs of “traditional” Hausa society that obliged them to limit their accumulation of capital. La thèse développée dans cet article présume qu'une transformation importante et inédite est en train d'avoir lieu dans la société sahélienne. Les occidentaux ont tendance à considérer la montée de “l'islamisme” uniquement comme un rejet de la mondialisation et de la modernisation parmi tant d'autres. Cet article propose une nouvelle interprétation en faisant l'analogie entre la montée de mouvements comme l'Izala et la manière dont les capitalistes Hausa aux premiers stades de leur développement essaient de s'intégrer au mouvement de la mondialisation en substituant un ensemble de croyances et de comportements bien plus individualisés à des préceptes sociaux et normatifs bien plus vieux de la société “traditionnelle” Hausa qui les obligeait à limiter leur accumulation du capital. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1702 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1017/S0002020600030894 10.1017/S0002020600030894 bibo:issue 2 bibo:pageEnd 107 bibo:pageStart 97 bibo:volume 47 -- o:id 12763 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12763 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 2225 dcterms:title Shari'a as De-Africanization: Evidence from Hausaland dcterms:subject Hausa people Zinder sharia September 11 attacks Katsina State West Africa witchcraft Northern Nigeria dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25010 dcterms:date 2003 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312319 Q117312319 iwac-reference-0000263 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract Terrorist attacks on the United States on 11 September 2001 overlapped with ongoing movements of Islamic fundamentalism in sub-Saharan Africa; however, these movements have not been identical, nor have they encountered uniform responses from the governments overseeing them. This is evident in the Hausa borderlands of Niger and Nigeria, where I conducted fieldwork (first begun in the early 1980s) two months after the attacks. Differences in the application of shari'a (Islamic law) on both sides of the border accentuate differences in Hausa culture and society along national (i.e., Nigérien vs. Nigerian) lines. Traditional Hausa customs that have flourished for centuries (praise-singing, drumming, group dancing, and singing) are now proscribed in the northern Nigerian state of Katsina, where shari'a is tantamount to de-Africanization. In contrast, Zinder, a neighboring state in the Republic of Niger, has so far resisted a comparable Islamization of its legal code. Cultural differentiation across the Niger-Nigeria boundary persists along religious lines, despite the status of Islam as the common faith. This inflected globalization of Islam highlights the significance of national boundaries in delimiting the influence of religious revivalism. Other differences relating to Islamization are inferred from comparing the extent of pilgrimage to Mecca and the incidence of wife seclusion in neighboring Hausa villages on each side of the Niger-Nigeria boundary. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/541 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1744 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1353/AT.2003.0061 10.1353/AT.2003.0061 bibo:issue 1 bibo:pageEnd 75 bibo:pageStart 51 bibo:volume 50 -- o:id 12764 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12764 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title From Hostage to Host: Confessions of a Spirit Medium in Niger dcterms:subject spirit spiritual practice body hopping dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25070 dcterms:date 2002 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295213 Q116295213 iwac-reference-0000264 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract Spirit possession ostensibly solves problems by freeing the object of possession from certain responsibilities, yet it also creates a whole nexus of unavoidable obligations as the human host learns to cope with the social, financial, and moral demands of her powerful alter ego. Rather than simplifying situations, possession complicates them by introducing new relations and enabling new forms of communication. In this article, I explore what bori possession as communication entailed for a young Mawri woman from Dogondoutchi (Niger) when her possessing spirit made dramatic revelations that forced her to make changes in her life. I show that possession opens up a space of self-awareness for mediums as they struggle to gain progressive control over the terms of their relationships with spirits. In this space of reflexivity they help create and in their role as interlocutors, accusers, or diviners, spirits play a crucial role in the refashioning of human histories and identities. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1684 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1525/ETH.2002.30.1-2.49 10.1525/ETH.2002.30.1-2.49 bibo:issue 1 bibo:pageEnd 76 bibo:pageStart 49 bibo:volume 30 -- o:id 12765 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12765 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Développement du wahhabisme au Niger : analyse socio-historique de la diffusion du mouvement Izala dans la ville de Maradi dcterms:subject salafisme (Ahl As-Sounna oua Al Jama'a) Izala Society Maradi dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25040 dcterms:date 2002 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295177 Q116295177 iwac-reference-0000265 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract Le Wahhabisme est le dernier courant réformiste à s’être diffusé au Niger (en attendant le Schi’isme) : en effet, il ne s’y est véritablement implanté que durant les années 1980, lorsque le mouvement Izala d’inspiration wahhabite s’est diffusé du Nigeria au Niger, notamment à Maradi, par le biais d’un ancien élève d’Aboubacar Goumi, malam Chaïbou Ladan.

From the beginning of the nineteenth century, Muslim groups such as the Marabouts of Wangara — who arrived with the exiled Hausa King of Katsina — were present in Maradi. As in Katsina, they acted as the religious authorities of the city. However, an alliance between Muslim groups in Katina and animist authorities of the Maradi Valley did not favour Wangara proselytizing in the nineteenth century. Only at the beginning of the twentieth century did Wangara religious expertise become known outside the group. Wangara Marabouts also headed the two major Sufi orders of the city, the Qadiriyya and the Umarian Tijaniyya. Nonetheless, their adherence to the Sufi orders was very superficial up to the middle of the twentieth century. Indeed, only in the 1940s did sufism begin to implant itself in Maradi — following the visit of Ibrahim Nyass. About that time, the Tijaniyya, which had predominated over the Qadiriyya, split into two antagonistic groups, the Umarians and the Nyassists. However, their quarrels faded away upon appearance of the izala Wahhabi reform movement in the 1980s which unified the Sufi Marabouts against it. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1686 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1080/00083968.1998.10751149 10.1080/00083968.1998.10751149 bibo:issue 3 bibo:pageEnd 557 bibo:pageStart 521 bibo:volume 32 -- o:id 12770 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12770 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Islamic Renewal in Niger: From Monolith to Plurality dcterms:subject Islamic revival multiplicity dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25134 dcterms:date 1996 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295168 Q116295168 iwac-reference-0000270 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract L'islam occupe traditionnellement une place importante dans l’histoire des populations du Niger. Mais sa progression s'est révélée à ce point fulgurante durant les toutes dernières décennies que, lors du recensement de 1988, près de 99pour cent des individus déclaraient s'y rattacher. Cette croissance permet certes de parler d'un '‘renouveau islamique" au Niger. Mais, paradoxalement, dans ce pays où l'islamisation ancienne ne fut pas véritablement synonyme d'arabisation, on peut se demander si cette progression de l'islam soutenue par des financements étrangers (surtout lybiens et saoudiens) ne pourrait pas être vue aussi comme le moment de l'éclatement de son monolithisme ancien. L'auteur de cet article s'interroge à ce sujet au travers de ce que deviennent les structures de l'éducation post-coloniale; au travers aussi de l'activisme de certains pays arabes qui, au Niger, favorisent l'émergence d'une “contre-élite" qui remet en cause l'ordre occidental de l'Etat hérité de la colonisation française. Il évoque aussi les effets de la libéralisation politique qui a permis un multipartisme dont le monolithisme religieux ancien n'est pas sans connaître les retombées: plusieurs courants de pensée islamique, avec leurs spécificités et leurs contradictions, deviennent clairement visibles. C'est enfin l'expression de plus en plus massive des divers courants islamiques dans les médias (y compris les médias d'Etat) qui retient son attention. L'auteur note que, jusqu'ici, le pouvoir en place n'a pas voulu voir dans cette effervescence islamique une véritable menace pour lui. Il pense toutefois qu’il pourrait y avoir là une certaine cécité intellectuelle. Car l'idée de Jihad n'est pas absente de l'action de certains mouvements islamistes du Niger, comme cela a pu se percevoir dans les discussions publiques au sujet de la laïcité de l'Etat et du projet de Code de la famille. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1695 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1697 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1177/003776896043002008 10.1177/003776896043002008 bibo:issue 2 bibo:pageEnd 265 bibo:pageStart 249 bibo:volume 43 -- o:id 12771 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12771 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title The moral and the political in African democratization: The code de la famille in Niger's troubled transition dcterms:subject politics morality democratization family law dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25056 dcterms:date 1996 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295145 Q116295145 iwac-reference-0000271 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract This article considers the political struggle surrounding the set of laws known as the code de la famille (family code) during Niger's 1992–93 transition to a democratic system as a means of examining the rise and decline of various social forces provoked by the transition, as well as for what it reveals about the difficulties that have plagued this new democracy. More importantly, the case provides an opportunity to examine the nature of the transformations subsumed under the rubric of ‘transition to democracy’ in Africa, or indeed elsewhere. The article argues that despite the universalist claims of the conception of ‘democracy’ dominant in international for a, the value system which it incorporates in fact frequently conflicts with prevailing indigenous values. Casting democracy as the search for a moral, rather than a political, order has thus complicated ‐ perhaps at times even doomed ‐ transitions to democracy. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1300 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1080/13510349608403466 10.1080/13510349608403466 bibo:issue 2 bibo:pageEnd 68 bibo:pageStart 41 bibo:volume 3 -- o:id 12772 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12772 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Secular Power and Religious Authority in Muslim Society: The Case of Songhay dcterms:subject secularism authority Askia Songhai people Timbuktu dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25145 dcterms:date 1996 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312306 Q117312306 iwac-reference-0000272 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract The relationship between political power and religious authority has been a delicate one in Muslim societies. On the one hand, governments may attempt to silence religious authorities; on the other, they may themselves succumb to revolutions in the name of religion. More often governments have attempted to co-opt religious authorities as allies in exercising control or have worked directly in a power-sharing arrangement with them. In Songhay, as in several other states of pre-colonial Sudanic Africa, a more subtle balance was achieved between the ruling estate and the diverse body of scholars, mystics and holymen who made up the religious estate. The askiyas of sixteenth-century Songhay, while exercising full political power, saw it in their interest to maintain harmonious relations with these men of religion. Gifts in cash and kind, including slaves, grants of land and privilege, especially exemption from taxation, as well as recognition of rights of intercession and sanctuary, ensured their moral support and spiritual services and, importantly, protected rulers from their curse. Such a symbiosis was important for the stability of a large and ethnically diverse empire like Songhay, especially as regards its conquered western reaches, which were ethnically non-Songhay and had a strong Islamic cultural tradition. This delicate balance was upset by the Sacdian conquest of Songhay in 1591. Despite Moroccan assertions of Islamic legitimacy, religious authorities in Timbuktu were unsupportive, and harsh measures against them dealt a lasting blow to the equilibrium which had prevailed under the askiyas. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1694 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1017/S0021853700035180 10.1017/S0021853700035180 bibo:issue 2 bibo:pageEnd 194 bibo:pageStart 175 bibo:volume 37 -- o:id 12773 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12773 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Enseignements de base, politiques d'éducation et stratégies éducatives en milieu haoussa : le cas de la ville de Maradi (Niger) dcterms:subject education Hausa people Maradi dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25042 dcterms:date 1995 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312316 Q117312316 iwac-reference-0000273 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract Cet article expose la situation de l'enseignement dans la ville de Maradi en pays haoussa au Niger. Après avoir dégagé les problèmes qui résultent de la paupérisation de deux modes de scolarisation (écoles primaires officielles et écoles coraniques privées), l'auteur met en évidence la dynamique de leur reformulation par le biais des politiques d'éducation de l'État nigérien et des instances internationales (Banque mondiale et FMI), mais également par celui des stratégies éducatives des parents d'élèves. Il montre de quelle manière des reprises d'initiatives peuvent être engendrées par la société civile dans le champ scolaire lorsque l'État n'a pas les moyens de répondre à la demande éducative, et quelles sont les stratégies développées par certains acteurs de la société civile pour réajuster leur propre demande dans le cadre législatif de cet État. L'auteur note en particulier une résurgence de l'enseignement islamique, face à une demande croissante de la population en faveur de la religion. Il en résulte une reformulation à la fois de l'école primaire et de l'école coranique vers une école franco-arabe qui est plus en mesure de prendre en compte pratiques et représentations de la modernité et de la tradition. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1686 bibo:issue 3 bibo:pageEnd 634 bibo:pageStart 617 bibo:volume 31 -- o:id 12774 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12774 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Consumption, Prostitution, and Reproduction: The Poetics of Sweetness in Bori dcterms:subject consumption prostitution reproduction Bori religion dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25019 dcterms:date 1995 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116493608 Q116493608 iwac-reference-0000274 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1684 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1525/AE.1995.22.4.02A00120 10.1525/AE.1995.22.4.02A00120 bibo:issue 4 bibo:pageEnd 906 bibo:pageStart 883 bibo:volume 22 -- o:id 12775 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12775 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Lightning, Death and the Avenging Spirits: "Bori" Values in a Muslim World dcterms:subject spirit Bori religion Mawri dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25089 dcterms:date 1994 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312311 Q117312311 iwac-reference-0000275 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1684 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.2307/1581373 10.2307/1581373 bibo:issue 1 bibo:pageEnd 51 bibo:pageStart 2 bibo:volume 24 -- o:id 12776 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12776 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Reflections on Slavery, Seclusion and Female Labor in the Maradi Region of Niger in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries dcterms:subject gender slavery Maradi Region seclusion dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25145 dcterms:date 1994 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116784660 Q116784660 iwac-reference-0000276 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract This essay argues that female participation in agriculture and limited seclusion in Maradi (Niger) today do not stem from the absence of agricultural slavery in the pre-colonial period but rather result from the resistance of the Katsinawa élite to the Islamic reforms of the Sokoto Caliphate and from the absence of rimji (plantation) slavery in the region. The abolition of slavery did not mark a watershed in the rise of seclusion, as M. G. Smith argues was the case in Nigeria, but rather triggered a series of reformulations of marriage and female hierarchy. Semi-legitimate and legitimate polygynous marriages permitted men and women of the wealthier classes to retain the labor of former female slaves as ‘concubines’ and later enabled them to use junior wives to perform the duties once carried out by slaves. Women countered the ambiguities of such marriages by asserting their worth through wedding ritual and later by adopting the veiling of élite women. As economic and cultural ties with northern Nigeria grew during the colonial and post-colonial periods, and as goods and services reduced some of the labor demands upon urban women, seclusion gained in popularity. By acquiescing to the dependency implicit in purdah women could protect themselves from the labor demands of others and could sometimes free themselves up to earn independent incomes of their own. Thus the recent adoption of seclusion in Maradi has not arisen out of a unilateral decision on the part of newly freed women to adopt seclusion as a sign of status, as Smith claimed for Northern Nigeria, but resulted instead from of a series of redefinitions, contestations and negotiations of marriage in which both men and women have been active. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1685 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1017/S0021853700025962 10.1017/S0021853700025962 bibo:issue 1 bibo:pageEnd 78 bibo:pageStart 61 bibo:volume 35 -- o:id 12777 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12777 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Revolutionary Mahdism and Resistance to Colonial Rule in the Sokoto Caliphate, 1905–6 dcterms:subject Mahdism colonialism resistance movement Sokoto Caliphate dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25145 dcterms:date 1990 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q115432852 Q115432852 iwac-reference-0000277 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract The Mahdist uprising of 1905–6 was a revolutionary movement that attempted to overthrow British and French colonial rule, the aristocracy of the Sokoto Caliphate and the zarmakoy of Dosso. The Mahdist supporters of the revolt were disgruntled peasants, fugitive slaves and radical clerics who were hostile both to indigenous authorities and to the colonial regimes. There was no known support among aristocrats, wealthy merchants or the ‘ulama. Thus the revolt reflected strong divisions based on class and, as an extension, on ethnicity. The pan-colonial appeal of the movement and its class tensions highlight another important feature: revolutionary Mahdism differed from other forms of Mahdism that were common in the Sokoto Caliphate at the time of the colonial conquest. There appears to have been no connection with the Mahdists who were followers of Muhammad Ahmed of the Nilotic Sudan or with those who joined Sarkin Musulmi Attahiru I on his hijra of 1903. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1714 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1724 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1017/S0021853700025019 10.1017/S0021853700025019 bibo:issue 2 bibo:pageEnd 244 bibo:pageStart 217 bibo:volume 31 -- o:id 12778 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12778 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title La grande mosquée d'Assodé dcterms:subject congregational mosque Assodé dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25081 dcterms:date 1989 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116486743 Q116486743 iwac-reference-0000278 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract L'article présente, après une description de la ville dépeuplée d'Assodé au Niger et un rapide bilan des principales informations historiques s'y rapportant, une étude architecturale de sa grande mosquée, ainsi que celle de l'oratoire de son site satellite le plus proche. La grande mosquée d'Assodé apparaît alors comme le plus vaste et le plus original des monuments religieux de l'Aïr, profondément inspiré de la mosquée à 'khutba' d'Agadez; sa structure ne rend cependant pas compte, au contraire de celle de cette dernière, d'un rôle politique particulier. Les datations par radiocarbone obtenues sur son minaret permettent de fixer au début du XVIIe siècle la construction du monument et donc l'épanouissement proprement urbain de l'établissement. L'oratoire périphérique, quant à lui, témoigne d'un phénomène sensiblement différent, celui de l'expansion, à des dates voisines, de courants religieux venus de l'ouest et de la création, dans l'Aïr, de nombreux centres de pèlerinages encore actifs de nos jours. The great mosque of Assodé (Aïr, Niger). Following a description and brief account of historical sources the depopulated town of Assodé, a study is made of the architecture of the Great Mosque and of the oratory of its nearest satellite settlement. This Assodé mosque is the largest and most original religious monument in Aïr. Though inspired by the khutba mosque in Agadez, its structure differs in that it does not correspond to a particular political role. Thanks to carbon datings of its minaret, its construction and thus its urban growth can be placed in the early 17th century. The other monument is evidence of a rather different phenomenon : the spread, during roughly the same period, of religious currents from the West and the creation in Aïr of numerous, and still active, centers of pilgrimage. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1719 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.3406/JAFR.1989.2280 10.3406/JAFR.1989.2280 bibo:issue 1 2 bibo:pageEnd 162 bibo:pageStart 133 bibo:volume 59 -- o:id 12779 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12779 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Hommes de religion et confréries islamiques dans une société en crise, l'Aïr aux XIXe et XXe siècles.

The khalwati shaykh Malam Mu sa Abatul maintains that his way has been introduced in Air by a ioth-century scholar and 'saint', Si Mahmud al-Baghdadi, and transmitted up to him through a regular silsila. Khalwatiyya, rather than Qadiriyya (and even more than Sanusiyya), could well be considered as the 'national' tariqa of Air. It is in fact far more likely that it was introduced or, at least, reactivated by Malam Mu sa, in order to strengthen the influence of the southern, sedentary ineslemen (members of the religious fractions) as against the northern warlike fractions, especially the Kunta. This is evidenced by the stress put upon gardening, modem European-style education and generai policy of co-operation with the French, after the failure of Kawsan's (Kaocen) uprising of 1916-17. The rise of the Khalwatiyya would thus resuit more from a manipulation than from a restauration. L'Aïr (Rép. du Niger) est un massif saharien qui s'allonge sur près de 400 km du nord au sud, et sur 100 à 200 km d'est en ouest. Il constitue dans le sud du Sahara un vaste îlot climatique de 61000 km2 entre les plaines désertiques de l'Azawagh et du Ténéré. L'Aïr compte environ 60000 habitants. Depuis les environs de l'an mil, l'Aïr à en effet été occupé par des groupes twareg. Au début du XVe siècle les différents groupes nomades désignaient un sultan, dont le rôle ne correspond en aucune manière à celui d'un chef suprême. Parti à la recherche de la Sanusiyya, l'auteur a rencontré dans le massif de l'Aïr d'ineslemen (forme tamasheq du mot arabe muslim) se réclamant de la Khalwatiyya. Les mentions de cette tariqa étant rares au sud du Sahara, l'auteur à été amené à s'interroger sur ce particularisme confrérique, peu connu dans la littérature scientifique. Après avoir posé la question des ineslemen et de leur place dans la société de l'Aïr au XXe siècle, l'auteur examine en détail l'histoire de l'Islam en Aïr, qui est indissociable d'une tradition qui attribue la revivification de l'Islam à Sidi Mahmud al-Baghdadi. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1305 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.3406/CEA.1983.2247 10.3406/CEA.1983.2247 bibo:issue 91 bibo:pageEnd 280 bibo:pageStart 239 bibo:volume 23 -- o:id 12780 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12780 o:resource_template Journal article o:resource_class bibo:AcademicArticle o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title L'enracinement ethnique de l'islam au sud du Sahara : étude comparée dcterms:subject ethnic group Sub-Saharan Africa dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25041 dcterms:date 1978 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8475 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116486767 Q116486767 iwac-reference-0000280 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract The islamized societies of subsaharan Africa combine ethnicity, Islam and modem political and économie factors into a variety of local situations, as demonstrated hère by the case-studies of three Moslem groups of the Western Sudan, the Hausa, Soninke and Wolof.

Urban centers have become concentrated areas of unemployment filled with young men trying, against all odds, to find jobs and fill their time with meaningful occupations. At the heart of Adeline Masquelier’s groundbreaking book is the fada—a space where men gather to escape boredom by talking, playing cards, listening to music, and drinking tea. As a place in which new forms of sociability and belonging are forged outside the unattainable arena of work, the fada has become an integral part of Niger’s urban landscape. By considering the fada as a site of experimentation, Masquelier offers a nuanced depiction of how young men in urban Niger engage in the quest for recognition and reinvent their own masculinity in the absence of conventional avenues to self-realization. In an era when fledgling and advanced economies alike are struggling to support meaningful forms of employment, this book offers a timely glimpse into how to create spaces of stability, respect, and creativity in the face of diminished opportunities and precarity. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Chicago bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1684 bibo:numPages 264 -- o:id 12789 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12789 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 o:media/o:id 19821 o:media/file https://islam.zmo.de/files/original/e16e257153a69d431067e6367ac71e369448fbf8.jpeg dcterms:title Les musulmans, l’école et l’État dans le bassin du lac Tchad dcterms:subject Chad Basin Muslim school state Islam in Chad Islam in Cameroon dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25223 dcterms:date 2016 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295134 Q116295134 iwac-reference-0000709 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract L'irruption de Boko Haram dans le bassin du Lac Tchad remet à l'ordre du jour le débat sur le rapport des sociétés musulmanes de cette région à la modernité.

Néanmoins, dans un certain nombre de fiefs animistes, tels que la ville de Maradi au Niger — fondée sur une alliance entre les animistes de la région et des groupes issus des principautés hawsa antérieures (notamment Katsina) contre les usurpateurs peuls —, une culture islamique ne se développe qu'à la fin du XIXe siècle, lorsque cessent les campagnes militaires contre l'empire de Sokoto.

Il montre notamment comment se diffusent les confréries (Qadiriyyah, Tijaniyyah) ainsi que le mouvement izala d'inspiration wahhabite ; en quoi se distinguent ou s'affrontent différentes "voies de l'islam" (traditionaliste, réformiste, rationaliste). dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/456 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1686 bibo:numPages 232 -- o:id 12794 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12794 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 o:media/o:id 19798 o:media/file https://islam.zmo.de/files/original/371fb3c4bd4efc77e358db8363db222cb713ff1f.jpeg dcterms:title Dynamique de l'enseignement islamique au Niger dcterms:subject Islamic education dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25223 dcterms:date 1997 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295183 Q116295183 iwac-reference-0000714 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract Ce livre s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une réflexion globale, sur les pratiques identitaires en Afrique musulmane en général et sur la capacité de transformation des sociétés musulmanes par le biais de l’école en particulier.

In this first, comprehensive account, zar-bori's origins, spread and persistence and its importance in the lives of women, even in such 'modernised' settings as Egypt, Tunisia and the Gulf States, throws new light on the environments in which such subversive cults thrive.

The teachings of Sīdī Mahmūd were to reappear recently in the Khalwatiyya Sūfī order (tariqa) in Niger. They are still important for contemporary Islam in that republic, which is a bridge between the Arab world and the Muslim states of the African Sahel. There is also evidence to suggest that initiated members of the Mahmūdiyya Sūfī order were once to be found throughout the entire Southern Sahara, from Timbuktu to Borneo and Lake Chad. This Sūfī order was one of the earliest to be founded in the area of Aïr which was a crossroads of African trade and of rival empires, and of conflicting tribes and peoples. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Oxford bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1704 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198265382.001.0001 10.1093/acprof:oso/9780198265382.001.0001 bibo:numPages 216 -- o:id 12797 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12797 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 o:media/o:id 19788 o:media/file https://islam.zmo.de/files/original/04cac6413fd8ab2264e9ff7aeda52cb180de6a79.jpeg dcterms:title Les alhazai de Maradi : histoire d'un groupe de riches marchands sahéliens dcterms:subject merchant wealth Maradi Sahel dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25243 dcterms:date 1986 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312299 Q117312299 iwac-reference-0000717 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract Prestigieuse capitale d'une chefferie haoussa au 19ème siècle, Maradi devient pendant la période coloniale un centre de traite dont l'activité repose sur la collecte de l'arachide produite par son arrière-pays et sur la diffusion, en brousse, de marchandises d'origine européenne. Au lendemain de l'indépendance du Niger, sa croissance s'accélère grâce à l'intensification du commerce arachidier puis au développement des échanges avec le Nigéria. Ces transactions, souvent doublées d'opérations frauduleuses tant la frontière est perméable, permettent à la ville de jouir d'une certaine prospérité. Sa rapide évolution (9000 habitants en 1954, près de 100 000 en 1986) a entraîné des mutations sociales et donné naissance à un groupe de riches marchands : les Alhazai (sing. Alhaji). Les Alhazai apparaissent comme une nouvelle génération d'hommes imprégnés à la fois des valeurs de l'Islam et de celles du capitalisme marchand. Ce livre retrace l'histoire de Maradi et l'ascension de ses Alhazai :quand et comment sont-ils parvenus à s'enrichir et à constituer un groupe privilégié au sein de la société locale?

Cette situation s’explique en partie par le fait que dans plusieurs pays du continent – et peut être surtout en Afrique Francophone – les structures institutionnelles du système éducatif héritées de la colonisation s’accommodaient difficilement à la demande sociale et aux réalités culturelles. C’est peut-être ce qui explique que les politiques éducatives ne semblent pas contribuer au développement. Dans les pays à majorité musulmane du Sahel, une des réponses de la société à la mauvaise «articulation» entre l’offre éducative publique et la demande sociale a été le développement d'un vaste système parallèle d’éducation informelle alimenté par la religion. Ce système a évolué en dehors des cadres éducatifs officiels et a constitué une réponse explicite aux déficits de l’offre éducative formelle de l'État. Ces écoles non-officielles, “informelles”, ou “parallèles” se sont développées sous des formes et à des niveaux très variés, allant des écoles coraniques simples aux “écoles franco-arabes” assez bien sophistiquées. En les voyant comme des concurrentes du système éducatif officiel, les Etats ont tenté de confiner, contrôler, ou bien parfois d'ignorer ces instances éducatives alternatives au cours des trois premières décennies des indépendances. Il est vrai que les politiques éducatives ont joué différemment dans chaque pays couvert par cette présente étude. Mais partout, des histoires abondent sur les efforts du gouvernement visant à forcer les enfants à fréquenter les écoles officielles de l'État, et sur les stratégies et ruses déployées par les parents pour résister. Comme l’a si bien noté Louis Brenner dans ses enquêtes sur la politique éducative du Mali il y a vingt ans, le thème sous-jacent de l'histoire racontée est celui d’un « conflit acharné entre la politique du gouvernement et une opposition à cette politique exprimée par la voie de l'éducation islamique » (Brenner 1991, 84). Toutefois, suite aux modifications graduelles mais significatives du contexte de la gouvernance aussi bien au niveau domestique qu’international qui ont marqué les deux dernières décennies, un certain nombre de facteurs ont poussé un large éventail de pays Africains à se lancer dans des expériences de réforme de l'éducation. Ces évolutions ont suscités une attention renouvelée de la communauté internationale sur l'éducation en tant que facteur clé de développement. Dans le contexte des pays francophones et musulmane du Sahel, l’un des aspects frappants du processus de réforme a été les tentatives d’amener l’éducation religieuse informelle et semi-formelle dans le giron du système étatique formel, ou – à défaut – de réformer le système formel en y incorporant des caractéristiques propres à l’éducation informelle. C’est par exemple le cas avec l'introduction de l'enseignement religieux dans les écoles publiques dans certains pays à majorité musulmane du Sahel. Il y a un débat ancien sur la relation entre la religion et les politiques éducatives dans la sous-région, tout comme il y a des débats parallèles en cours ailleurs dans les pays du monde Musulman. Mais compte tenu de l’attachement persistant des Etats postcoloniaux du Sahel à l'éducation francophone à caractère laïc, ces efforts de réforme actuels sont sans précédent. Bien qu’elles soient encore en développement, et même si leur impact à longue terme n’est pas encore tout à fait observable, le fait seulement d’entreprendre ces réformes marque une rupture importante par rapport à la politique éducative historique dans la sous-région. Le secteur de l'éducation est donc un exemple clé de la façon dont l'intersection entre la libéralisation politique au nom de la démocratie et les contextes sociaux changeants au cours des deux dernières décennies ont permis– et parfois motivé – des changements politiques visant la réforme des institutions et l’ajustement des politiques à la demande sociale (Villalón, 2010). Le projet “Religion, demande sociale, et reforme éducative au Sahel” du programme Afrique Pouvoir et Politique (APPP) a permis d’entreprendre une recherche comparative sur les politiques de réforme de l’éducation dans trois pays du Sahel – Niger, Mali et Sénégal – qui sont tous assez bien avancé dans la mise en œuvre de ces réformes éducatives. Dans chacun de ces trois pays, la justification courante de la réforme est l’argument selon lequel rendre les établissements d'enseignement plus en phase avec les réalités locales et les attentes sociales—et non à leur encontre— est essentiel pour corriger la tendance au déclin de l’éducation. Dans la terminologie des hypothèses de l’APPP, ces efforts de réforme constituent des changements institutionnels délibérément façonnés “to go with the grain” (pour aller dans le courant) des réalités sociales africaines (Booth, 2011). En d’autres termes, les réformes permettent d’ajuster les politiques éducatives aux préférences très manifestes et aux normes culturelles très dominants des parents dans les pays musulmans du Sahel. Dans tous les trois pays, les projets de réforme menés par l'Etat ont tenté d'intégrer ou de «capturer» les systèmes éducatifs qui florissaient dans l'informel, tout en essayant de leur imposer un certain degré de formalisation. Une telle approche a conduit ainsi à la création de ce qui pourrait être considéré comme de nouveaux systèmes “hybrides.” Ces réformes ont été eux-mêmes rendu possible grâce aux changements dans la nature de l'Etat et de la relation État-société en cours depuis les années 1990. A bien des égards, les arguments avancés pour conduire la réforme dans ces pays étaient impensables au cours des décennies précédentes. Ces nouvelles initiatives ont été rendues possibles et promues par des acteurs clés qui ont saisi l’opportunité offerte par les changements du cadre de la gouvernance, lesquels changements sont eux-mêmes le résultat des transformations sociétales graduelles et progressives mis en marche au cours de la phase de libéralisation politique des années 1990. Ce présent projet de recherche visait à examiner de près à la fois les dynamiques parallèles et les similitudes dans le processus de réforme dans les cas précités, tout en mettant en exergue les variations et les spécificités propres à chaque pays. Le projet est le fruit d’une collaboration entre le Centre d'Etudes Africaines de l'Université de la Floride et le Laboratoire d'Etudes et de Recherches sur les Dynamiques Sociales et le Développement Local (LASDEL) à Niamey. Il est codirigé par Leonardo A. Villalón et Mahamane Tidjani Alou. L'idée du projet est née d’une première série d’entretiens réalisés dans les trois pays par Villalón en 2008. Ce travail exploratoire a permis d’apprécier la grande pertinence de ces réformes éducatives pour les préoccupations théoriques de APPP. Sur cette base, une réunion initiale s’est tenue en Juin 2009 au LASDEL, entre les codirecteurs et Abdourahmane Idrissa (qui devait coordonner la recherche) pour planifier le travail de terrain. Une équipe de recherche composée d’assistants de terrain dans chaque pays (Mamadou Bodian pour le Sénégal; Issa Fofana pour le Mali, et Ibrahim Yahya Ibrahim pour le Niger) a travaillé avec Villalón et Idrissa pour conduire à la fois des entretiens avec les acteurs clés et faire des observations ethnographiques sur un échantillon d'écoles dans chaque pays en 2009-2010. Au Niger, d'autres études ethnographiques ont été réalisées dans différentes écoles par Ali Bako, Issa Tahirou, et Mokhtar Abdourahmane, sous la direction de Tidjani Alou. En Juin 2010, toute l'équipe de recherche s’est réunie à LASDEL pour un séminaire de trois jours, afin d’étudier les résultats empiriques de la recherche, dans le but de préparer la rédaction des rapports. Ainsi, les expériences du projet de réforme dans chacun des trois pays sont examinées dans trois rapports séparés, dont ce présent rapport. En outre, un aperçu global de la question dans les trois pays est à paraitre (Villalón, 2012). Nous envisageons une analyse comparative plus approfondie des implications des trois expériences de réforme éducative en rapport avec les préoccupations plus larges du projet APPP dans le travail à venir. Le présent rapport explore le processus de réforme pour le cas du Niger en situant cette réforme dans l'évolution du contexte social et politique du pays. Il décrit la marginalisation historique du secteur franco-arabe, officiellement reconnu (à la différence avec les autres pays) mais qui a toujours été le « le parent pauvre » du système éducatif. Longtemps tenaillées la laïcité d’Etat et une forte demande en éducative religieuses, le rapport examine en particulier comment les franco-arabes ont pu être réhabilitées, à partir des années 1990, comme alternative éducation. Ce changement est impulsé par une démocratie naissante, de fortes pressions des populations fortement Islamisées, et des réformes éducatives respectives de 1994 et 1998. Le rapport examine ensuite les mesures de réforme spécifiques qui ont été adoptées, et les tendances sociales observables de ces réformes. Il examine aussi les différents problèmes rencontrés dans la mise en œuvre de la réforme. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance London bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1300 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1236 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1326 bibo:issue 6 -- o:id 12806 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12806 o:resource_template Communication o:resource_class bibo:PersonalCommunication o:item_set/o:id 2222 2225 o:media/o:id 15686 dcterms:title Projecting Life: Boko, Learning and Religiosity at a University in West Africa dcterms:publisher Boston University African Studies Center dcterms:date 2021-04-26 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8501 dcterms:identifier iwac-reference-0000841 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract Walter Rodney Lecture hosted by the Boston University African Studies Center, on April 26, 2021. dcterms:extent PT1H28M8S dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/541 dcterms:provenance Boston bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 -- o:id 12809 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/12809 o:resource_template Report o:resource_class bibo:Report o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Niger: Containing the Fallout from the Coup dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/749 dcterms:date 2023-10-04 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8596 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q123233567 Q123233567 iwac-reference-0000793 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract West Africa has witnessed yet another coup, this time in Niger.

Using the Sahel as a source of five comparative case studies, this volume aims to engage in the painstaking task of disentangling Islam from the political ideologies that have issued from its theologies to fight for governmental power and the transformation of society. While these ideologies tap into sources of religious legitimacy, the author shows that they are fundamentally secular or temporal enterprises, defined by confrontation with other political ideologies–both progressive and liberal–within the arena of nation states. Their objectives are the same as these other ideologies, i.e., to harness political power for changing national societies, and they resort to various methods of persuasion, until they break down into violence. The two driving questions of the book are, whence come these ideologies, and why do they–sometimes–result in violence? Ideologies of Salafi radicalism are at work in the five countries of the Sahel region, Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, (Northern) Nigeria and Senegal, but violence has broken out only in Mali and Northern Nigeria. Using a theoretical framework of ideological development and methods of historical analysis, Idrissa traces the emergence of Salafi radicalism in each of these countries as a spark ignited by the shock between concurrent processes of Islamization and colonization in the 1940s. However, while the spark eventually ignited a blaze in Mali and Nigeria, it has only led to milder political heat in Niger and Senegal and has had no burning effect at all in Burkina Faso. By meticulously examining the development of Salafi radicalism ideologies over time in connection with developments in national politics in each of the countries, Idrissa arrives at compelling conclusions about these divergent outcomes. Given the many similarities between the countries studied, these divergences show, in particular, that history, the behaviour of state leaders and national sociologies matter–against assumptions of ‘natural' contradictions between religion (Islam) and secularism or democracy. This volume offers a new perspective in discussions on ideology, which remains–as is shown here–the independent variable of many key contemporary political processes, either hidden in plain sight or disguised in a religious garb. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/546 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/541 dcterms:provenance New York bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1236 bibo:numPages 276 -- o:id 15716 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/15716 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2212 2222 dcterms:title Jihadists of North Africa and the Sahel: Local Politics and Rebel Groups dcterms:subject Sahel Jihadism North Africa dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25174 dcterms:date 2020 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q113524493 Q113524493 iwac-reference-0000738 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract Jihadist movements have claimed that they are merely vehicles for the application of God's word, distancing themselves from politics, which they call dirty and manmade. Yet on closer examination, jihadist movements are immersed in politics, negotiating political relationships not just with the forces surrounding them, but also within their own ranks. Drawing on case studies from North Africa and the Sahel - including Algeria, Libya, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Mauritania - this study examines jihadist movements from the inside, uncovering their activities and internal struggles over the past three decades. Highlighting the calculations that jihadist field commanders and clerics make, Alexander Thurston shows how leaders improvise, both politically and religiously, as they adjust to fast-moving conflicts. Featuring critical analysis of Arabic-language jihadist statements, this book offers unique insights into the inner workings of jihadist organisations and sheds new light on the phenomenon of mass-based jihadist movements and proto-states. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/546 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/357 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Cambridge bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1285 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.1017/9781108771160 10.1017/9781108771160 bibo:numPages 292 -- o:id 15737 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/15737 o:resource_template Report o:resource_class bibo:Report o:item_set/o:id 2193 2212 2222 dcterms:title Containing Militancy in West Africa's Park W Contenir l'insurrection jihadiste dans le Parc W en Afrique de l'Ouest dcterms:subject Jihadism W National Park Ansar ul Islam Burkina Faso conflict violence Benin jihad dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/749 dcterms:date 2023-01-26 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8596 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116894451 Q116894451 iwac-reference-0000808 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract Insurgents have established bases in an important nature reserve spanning parts of Benin, Burkina Faso and Niger.

Islam is, indeed, an essential feature of this region assuming today new forms in terms of discourses, practices, and modes of dissemination. In order to capture their changing complexity and diversity, regional Islamic dynamics need to be observed from both sides of the Niger-Nigeria border, where religious patterns echo each other but also obey different socio-political injunctions. While studying the processes of religious renewal and mutation, it is necessary to pay attention to the varied forms these processes take, to their direct and indirect effects and to the channels of transmission used. An interdisciplinary team of seven researchers from Niger, Nigeria, France and the United Kingdom was set up to conduct this transnational study; all authors carried out ethnographic fieldwork in both countries while constantly exchanging, comparing and discussing their respective findings with each other. Thus, this book provides first-hand material collected in the field, that contributes to enrich the reflexion on contemporary transformation dynamics in the Islamic landscapes of Niger and Nigeria, but also reflects the relevance of a transnational and comparative approach of these phenomena. Finally, it showcases the collaborative work of African and European scholars from Francophone and Anglophone countries - a type of scientific partnership unprecedented in this field. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/541 dcterms:provenance Ibadan Leiden bibo:editorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1707 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.4000/BOOKS.IFRA.1713 10.4000/BOOKS.IFRA.1713 bibo:numPages 218 -- o:id 15744 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/15744 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 2225 dcterms:title Le phénomène Boko Haram : au-delà du radicalisme dcterms:subject Boko Haram radicalization dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25223 dcterms:date 2016 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116295228 Q116295228 iwac-reference-0000744 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract Que sait-on de ce mouvement obscur qui est parti des milieux islamistes modestes du nord du Nigéria pour prendre de l'ampleur en réussissant l'exploit d'exporter la terreur dans les foyers des pays environnants ?

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. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/541 dcterms:provenance Edinburgh bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1696 bibo:numPages 549 -- o:id 15746 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/15746 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 2225 o:media/o:id 19793 o:media/file https://islam.zmo.de/files/original/58611a15c091f7064c8788f7c95b3cd89e8500bf.jpeg dcterms:title Boko Haram : parti pour durer dcterms:subject Boko Haram dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25223 dcterms:date 2016 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q116486424 Q116486424 iwac-reference-0000746 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract À l'instar de Boko Haram, le fondamentalisme s'appuie sur des supports variés, dont le ressort sociologique, qui lui assure un ancrage territorial.

Laïcité has been among their major preoccupations. For many ulama this secularism contradicts Niger's religious identity. Three voices are presented: the Collaborators, the Moderates and the Despisers. Each group seeks to influence the political and ideological make-up of the state. Although ulama in general remain critical of the state ideological transformation, not all of them reject the separation from religion clause. The Collaborators suggest cooperation between the religious and the political authorities; the Moderates demand governance to accommodate people's will; and the Despisers reject the liberalism that voids religious authority and demand a total re-islamization. I argue that what is at stake is less the separation between state and religion as its modality and impact on religious authority. The targets, tones and justification of the discourses I explore show the limitations of a democratization project grounded in laïcité. Thus, in place of a secular democratization, ulama propose a conservative democracy based on Islam. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 bibo:numPages 108 -- o:id 15750 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/15750 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 o:media/o:id 19812 o:media/file https://islam.zmo.de/files/original/b030cb19329327389e3a630841d8a77118e887c3.jpg dcterms:title L'islam dans l'espace nigérien : de 1960 aux années 2000.

This study follows the career of Malam Awal and documents the engagement of women in the religious debates that are refashioning their everyday lives.

Cooper looks closely at the Sudan Interior Mission, an evangelical Christian mission that has taken a tenuous hold in a predominantly Hausa Muslim area on the southern fringe of Niger. Based on sustained fieldwork, personal interviews, and archival research, this vibrant, sensitive, compelling, and candid book gives a unique glimpse into an important dimension of religious life in Africa. Cooper's involvement in a violent religious riot provides a useful backdrop for introducing other themes and concerns such as Bible translation, medical outreach, public preaching, tensions between English-speaking and French-speaking missionaries, and the Christian mission's changing views of Islam. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Bloomington bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1685 bibo:numPages 462 -- o:id 15756 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/15756 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Prayer Has Spoiled Everything: Possession, Power, and Identity in an Islamic Town of Niger dcterms:subject possession Mawri dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25189 dcterms:date 2001 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q57235111 Q57235111 iwac-reference-0000755 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract Bori, in the Mawri society of Niger, are mischievous and invisible beings that populate the bush. Bori is also the practice of taming these wild forces in the context of possession ceremonies. In Prayer Has Spoiled Everything Adeline Masquelier offers an account of how this phenomenon intervenes—sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically—in human lives, providing a constantly renewed source of meaning for Mawri peasants confronted with cultural contradictions and socio-economic marginalization. To explore the role of bori possession in local definitions of history, power, and identity, Masquelier spent a total of two years in Niger, focusing on the diverse ways in which spirit mediums share, transform, and contest a rapidly changing reality, threatened by Muslim hegemony and financial hardship. She explains how the spread of Islam has provoked irreversible change in the area and how prayer—a conspicuous element of daily life that has become virtually synonymous with Islamic practice in this region of west Africa—has thus become equated with the loss of tradition. By focusing on some of the creative and complex ways that bori at once competes with and borrows from Islam, Masquelier reveals how possession nonetheless remains deeply embedded in Mawri culture, representing more than simple resistance to Islam, patriarchy, or the state. Despite a widening gap between former ways of life and the contradictions of the present, it maintains its place as a feature of daily life in which villagers participate with varying degrees of enthusiasm and approval. Specialists in African studies, in the anthropology of religion, and in the historical transformations of colonial and postcolonial societies will welcome this study. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Durham bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1684 bibo:numPages 368 -- o:id 15757 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/15757 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 2225 dcterms:title Les routes de l'Islam : anthropologie politique de l'islamisation de l'Afrique de l'Ouest en général et du pays Hawsa en particulier du VIIIè au XIXè siècle dcterms:subject Hausa people history West Africa dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25223 dcterms:date 1997 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312317 Q117312317 iwac-reference-0000756 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract Ce livre s'adresse à tous ceux qui souhaitent comprendre sans à priori, comment il y a eu diffusion de l'Islam en Afrique de l'Ouest en général et dans le pays hawsa (Niger et Nigeria) en particulier. Il s'agit d'un travail original, basé sur de longues recherches à la fois historiques et anthropologiques, qui montre quelles sont les relations politiques et économiques entre le Maghreb et les sociétés au sud du Sahara, quels sont les différents groupes de commerçants qui islamisent ces pays, à quel courant religieux ils appartiennent, dans quelles circonstances ils sont amenés à y diffuser leurs conceptions religieuses et quelles sont les conséquences de leur avènement dans les Etats subsahariens. Tout au long de cet ouvrage, l'auteur a le souci de replacer les situations singulières propres à chaque Etat en fonction du contexte général africain : ainsi, il arrive à montrer que la création, l'islamisation et les problèmes politico-religieux des sociétés africaines, telles que les Etats hawsa, sont souvent liés à la mise en place de nouvelles routes commerciales par des groupes musulmans concurrents. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/541 dcterms:provenance https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/456 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1686 bibo:numPages 204 -- o:id 15758 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/15758 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:Book o:item_set/o:id 2222 o:media/o:id 19802 o:media/file https://islam.zmo.de/files/original/d7ae795f7731cf4a9fd07101a0bf845d92fb0316.jpg dcterms:title Fusion of the Worlds: An Ethnography of Possession Among the Songhay of Niger dcterms:subject rite Songhai people possession Tillabéri dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25269 dcterms:date 1989 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312336 Q117312336 iwac-reference-0000757 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 dcterms:provenance Chicago bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1715 bibo:numPages 243 -- o:id 15759 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/15759 o:resource_template Blog post o:resource_class fabio:BlogPost o:item_set/o:id 2222 dcterms:title Salafists and the Missing State in the Sahel dcterms:subject Salafism Sahel state Fulbe people Tuareg Libya Algeria Islam in Mali rural area dcterms:publisher ASCL Africanist Blog dcterms:date 2019-11-26 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8729 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117312372 Q117312372 iwac-reference-0000856 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 dcterms:abstract In the 1960s, there was an African ambition to build modern states based on ‘national development’. But in the late 1980s, national development was dismissed - in most cases under compulsion from the international financial institutions. And without national development project, there are really no states in Africa, only regimes. In the Sahel, this paved the way for the establishment of the ‘Islamic state’. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 bibo:authorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1236 fabio:hasURL https://www.ascleiden.nl/content/ascl-blogs/abdourahmane-idrissa/salafists-and-missing-state-sahel -- o:id 15760 url https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/15760 o:resource_template Book o:resource_class bibo:EditedBook o:item_set/o:id 2217 2222 2225 2228 o:media/o:id 67544 o:media/file https://islam.zmo.de/files/original/4d0f09134e59d6a43fb4138fb925fd450d256046.jpg dcterms:title Religiosity on University Campuses in Africa: Trends and Experiences dcterms:publisher https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/25234 dcterms:date 2023 dcterms:type https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8541 dcterms:identifier https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q117599346 Q117599346 iwac-reference-0000839 dcterms:language https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8322 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/8355 dcterms:abstract This volume examines religiosity on university campuses in Sub-Saharan Africa. Focusing on both individuals and organized groups, the contributions open a window onto how religion becomes a factor, affects social interactions, is experienced and mobilized by various actors. It brings together case studies from various disciplinary backgrounds (anthropology, sociology, history, religious studies) and theoretical orientations to illustrate the significance of religiosity in recent developments on university campuses. It pays a particular attention to religion-informed activism and contributes a fresh analysis of processes that are shaping both the experience of being student and the university campus as a moral space. Finally, it sheds light onto the ways in which the campus becomes a site of a reformulation of both religiosity and sociality. dcterms:spatial https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/298 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/540 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/541 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/544 dcterms:provenance https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/60478 bibo:editorList https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/1284 https://islam.zmo.de/s/westafrica/item/858 bibo:doi https://doi.org/10.58144/20241107-000 10.58144/20241107-000 bibo:numPages 312 --
