Unveiling Modernity in Twentieth-Century West African Islamic Reforms.

In this book Ousman Kobo provides a fresh understanding of the Indigenous origins of Islamic reforms sympathetic to "Wahhabi" ideas in two West African countries, Burkina Faso and Ghana, and connects these movements to Muslim's search for religious purity in modern contexts.
