| Description: | Controlling Knowledge examines the history of West African muslim society in the republic of Mali, formerly the Soudan Francais, in the 20th century. Focusing on the transformation of Muslim institutions - especially modernised Muslim schools and voluntary organisations - over the past hundred years, Louis Bremner uncovers the social and political processes that have produced new forms, definitions and expressions of Islam that are patently different from those that preva8iled a century earlier. |
| Key Points: | A major contribution toward our understanding of Muslim history in Mali and West Africa, both in recent decades and over the long term. |
