Sumario:This book provides an overview of Muslim societies in Africa in light of their role in African history and the history of the Islamic world. The author identifies patterns and peculiarities in the historical, social, economic, and political development of Africa, and addresses the impact of Islam over the longue durée. To understand the movements of peoples and how they came into contact, the author considers geography, ecology, and climate, as well as religious conversion, trade, and slavery. This comprehensive history offers a balanced view of the complexities of the African Muslim past while looking toward Africa's future role in the globalized Muslim world.
