While Islam is a key piece in the globalised world, in Africa it is a central aspect for the orientation of a good part of the continent’s peoples in this confusing historical period. Many African societies have known Islam for centuries, and their historical experiences indicate a large capacity for adaptation. With the exception of certain turbulent regions (Nigeria, Sudan), general Muslim practice escapes the simplistic categorisation that politicians tend to make of globalisation. From this perspective, the African and European experts that this course brings together analyse Islam’s historical paths of penetration into black African societies, its relations with political power before, during and following colonisation, and its functioning in the everyday life of rural areas and cities.
