JRA 35,4_653_506-515 11/2/05 2:14 PM Page 507 ASC Abstracts 507 Evers Rosander, Eva Mam Diarra Bousso la bonne mère de Porokhane, Sénégal In: Africa: rivista trimestrale di studi e documentazione, ISSN 0001-9747: (2003), a. 58, n. 3/4, pp. 296-317. Abstract: Mam Diarra Bousso (née dans les années 1820-1825, morte vers 1860) est la mère du fondateur du mouridisme au Sénégal, Cheikh Amadou Bamba. Sa tombe fait l’objet de rituels qui constituent la pratique religieuse lors du pélerinage annuel de Porokhane, et en forme le centre. Le présent article traite de ce pèlerinage ainsi que de l’image de Mam Diara Bousso dans les légendes de la tradition orale et les chan- sons, telles qu’elles sont restituées par les femmes mourides de Touba et de Diourbel. L’auteur entend montrer en quoi consiste l’idéal religieux d’une mère et sainte femme dans le mouridisme contemporain qui connaît une popularité croissante parmi les fidèles aux plans local aussi bien que global. Les mourides se rendent chaque année à Touba pour célébrer la mémoire de Cheikh Amadou Bamba. Nombre d’entre eux incluent le pèlerinage à Porokhane dans leur géographie du sacré. Les femmes ont tendance à par- ler de Mam Diarra et de son fils comme s’ils ne faisaient qu’un, d’une importance égale à l’intérieur du culte mouride. De même, ils accordent à Porokhane un rang égal à celui de Touba. Les hommes expriment souvent une vision plus formelle des relations familiales Bamba-Bousso, considérant Mam Diarra comme la mère du grand chef religieux uniquement dans un sens strictement biologique. On peut dire que les femmes créent leur propre cosmologie soufie, dans laquelle se confondent l’espace et le corps sacré. Notes, réf., rés. en anglais et en italien. [Résumé extrait de la revue, adapté] Guèye, Cheikh New information & communication technology use by Muslim Mourides in Senegal In: Review of African political economy, ISSN 0305-6244: (2003), vol. 30, no. 98, pp. 609-625. Abstract: Touba, Senegal’s second-largest city, and a major religious centre, is an inter- esting site for observing the intersecting forces of increasing urbanization and the use of New Information & Communication Technologies (NICTs). Touba’s development is the result of an initiative undertaken at the beginning of the 20th century by the Mouride Muslim sect. More than a third of all Senegalese are Mourides, who constitute a power- ful socioreligious group known for its agricultural and commercial activities, its deep- rooted traditions and its adaptability and innovativeness. The author hypothesizes that NICTs constitute new territory to be conquered by Mourides. In this context, he dis- cusses the development of radio, television, and, particularly, telephone in Senegal. He also pays attention to the role of the Hizbut Tarqiyya ‘dahira’ (association) in the devel- opment of computer technology and the Internet in Senegal. Bibliogr., sum. in English and French. [ASC Leiden abstract] Dimock, Liz Women’s leadership roles in the early Protestant Church in Uganda: continuity with the old order In: The Australasian review of African studies: (2003), vol. 25, no. 2, pp. 8-22. Abstract: This paper examines the extent to which women leaders in the early Protestant Church in Buganda (now Uganda) reflected a continuity in women’s leadership between precolonial and colonial society and for how long. The arrival of Christianity in the 1870s with the introduction of mission teaching at the court of the ‘Kabaka’ of Buganda was the start of a period of great change for many Baganda, opening the way for women as well as men to acquire a range of new skills, especially literacy, which became linked with upward social mobility. The paper first examines the royal women who, in the first 20 years after the missionaries’ arrival in precolonial Buganda, straddled two.

  • MYSTIC LEADER ©Christian Bobst Village of Keur Ndiaye Lo
    SENEGAL MYSTIC LEADER ©Christian Bobst Village of Keur Ndiaye Lo. Disciples of the Baye Fall Dahira of Cheikh Seye Baye perform a religious ceremony, drumming, dancing and singing prayers. While in other countries fundamentalists may prohibit music, it is an integral part of the religious practice in Sufism. Sufism is a form of Islam practiced by the majority of the population of Senegal, where 95% of the country’s inhabitants are Muslim Based on the teachings of religious leader Amadou Bamba, who lived from the mid 19th century to the early 20th, Sufism preaches pacifism and the goal of attaining unity with God According to analysts of international politics, Sufism’s pacifist tradition is a factor that has helped Senegal avoid becoming a theatre of Islamist terror attacks Sufism also teaches tolerance. The role of women is valued, so much so that within a confraternity it is possible for a woman to become a spiritual leader, with the title of Muqaddam Sufism is not without its critics, who in the past have accused the Marabouts of taking advantage of their followers and of mafia-like practices, in addition to being responsible for the backwardness of the Senegalese economy In the courtyard of Cheikh Abdou Karim Mbacké’s palace, many expensive cars are parked. They are said to be gifts of his followers, among whom there are many rich Senegalese businessmen who live abroad. The Marabouts rank among the most influential men in Senegal: their followers see the wealth of thei religious leaders as a proof of their power and of their proximity to God.

    RELIGION, SOCIAL CAPITAL AND DEVELOPMENT IN THE SAHEL: THE NIYASS TIJANIYYA IN NIGER Shailly Barnes eligion is not often pursued as a source of engagement in the international Rdiscourse on development. While faith-based organizations have received a greater audience and exerted greater influence in the past few years under the Bush administration, it is still uncommon for international development agencies to incorporate religious loyalties, insights and communities into their regional or national agendas. This pattern of development practice grew, perhaps, from an attempt to pursue a secular agenda that offended none and therefore was accept- able to all. However, in neglecting the religiosity of the poorest of the poor, the development agenda fails to acknowledge and learn from some of the most innova- tive, influential and sustainable development actors: the religious leadership of the world’s poor. In the Islamic countries of sub-Saharan Africa, certain religious leaders are making great strides in advancing an ambitious development agenda among their constituent population of believers, who are among the poorest of the poor. In Niger, a country that consistently ranks at the very bottom of many development indicators, the religious leadership of the Niass Tijaniyya, one of the predominant Sufi brotherhoods in Niger, is engaged in a variety of anti-poverty, empowerment and literacy programs that touch the lives of the poorest Nigeriens. Its progress in women’s human, economic and reproductive rights is especially remarkable consid- ering the education and poverty levels of the adult population in Niger. The efforts and progress of these actors are of great value to international development agencies and actors as we pass the midway mark to accomplishing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

En effet, cette religion y est d’implantation relativement ancienne, sa pénétration remontant au XIe siècle, dans le sillage de la Mauritanie voisine où transitèrent, via le Maghreb au nord, les premières influences arabo- musulmanes qui avaient accompagné le commerce transsaharien dont le Sénégal constituait un des terminus au sud du Sahara. Rappelons, à cet égard, que c’est sur les bords du bas fleuve Sénégal, toujours au XIe siècle, que le mouvement arabo-berbère des Almoravides, vit le jour, avant de se fortifier et de se lancer, à travers le Maroc, à la conquête, à l’occupation et à l’islamisation de la péninsule ibérique où la présence musulmane dura quatre siècles, jusqu’en 1492, année de la prise de Grenade, en Espagne, par les forces coalisées de l’Europe chrétienne. Il y eut deux axes de pénétration de l’Islam au Sénégal.

Se pluralizará la mirada sobre el islam a través de dos vías fundamentales: el abordaje del llamado “islam negro”, especialmente el practicado por las cofradías sufíes (la senegalesa Muridiyya, en concreto como ejemplo paradigmático), y una mirada desde el feminismo con sensibilidad poscolonial sobre aspectos cruciales de género presentes en tales cofradías.

  • The Judgement of God. Migration Aspirations and Sufi-Islam in Urban Senegal
    PhiN-Beiheft 18/2019: 284 Sebastian Prothmann (Bamako) Ndogalu Yàlla – The Judgement of God. Migration Aspirations and Sufi-Islam in Urban Senegal Based on ethnographic research in Pikine, an urban area within the Dakar region, I argue that theistic predetermination plays a pivotal role in migration aspirations of young men in urban Senegal. At- tainments within this religious popular belief such as successful migration or material wealth are believed to depend on wërsëg (luck) predetermined by one's fate (Ndogalu Yàlla). Likewise, the phenomenon of irregular migration from Senegal to Europe is similarly perceived: 'Barça wala Bar- sakh' (Barcelona or die) is what young people in coastal Senegal used to call this form of migration. However, I will show that young men handle their fate proactively, as they accept the risks and uncertainties of migration at all costs. With their courageous behaviour and fearless acceptance of even life-threatening obstacles during irregular migration, young men show determination to chal- lenge their destiny while trying to positively define and strengthen both their masculine and their religious identities. Introduction When I visited Pikine and Dakar in 2010 for the first time, I was astonished by the proliferation of religious symbols throughout the public space. Mural paintings and sophisticated colourful glass paintings, so-called suweer, with portraits of famous religious persons, particularly Cheikh Amadou Bamba,1 Cheikh Ibrahima Fall,2 El Hadj Malick Sy,3 Ibrāhīm Niass4 or other important sheikhs, have sprouted all over the town. The noteworthy proliferation of iconic Sufi representations is significant for their status as well as to their infiltration and penetration in urban Senegalese 1 Cheikh Amadou Bamba, often called Sériñ Tuubaa (Cheikh of Touba), was the founder of the Murid brotherhood.

  • Les Exils De Cheikh Bamba Au Gabon Et En Mauritanie (1895 - 1907)
    LES EXILS DE CHEIKH BAMBA AU GABON ET EN MAURITANIE (1895 - 1907) MBAYE GUEYE Maître de Conférences, Département d’Histoire Faculté des Lettres & Sciences Humaines, Dakar Paru dans les Annales de la Faculté des Lettres et Sciences Humaines, 1995, 25 : 41-57 Du XVIe au milieu du XIXe siècle les sociétés sénégalaises étaient frappées par une profonde crise consécutive à la traite négrière devenue la préoccupation majeure des autorités. Aux escarmouches succédaient les expéditions de grande envergure entraînant à leur suite des pillages, des vols, des viols. De partout montaient vers le ciel les gémissements des victimes. Cette atmosphère irrespirable de violence mit la société dans une sorte de vide spirituel et moral. Là où la religion traditionnelle était prépondérante comme en pays sérère aucune réponse adéquate n'était trouvée à l'inquiétude du lendemain en raison même de l'étroitesse de ses horizons. Toutefois il en était autrement dans les zones d'implantation des musulmans. Refusant de subir les caprices de l'aristocratie dirigeante, les musulmans prenaient souvent les armes pour abattre les régimes despotiques qui, à leurs yeux, avaient perdu toute légitimité. Ils décidèrent de remodeler la société en recourant aux provisions de la loi islamique. 1. LE CONTEXTE HISTORIQUE Vers la fin du XVIIIe siècle, ils connurent quelques succès. En 1776 la Révolution théocratique triomphait au Fouta-Toro. Les échecs constatés au Kajoor et au Bawol ne les dissuadèrent pas de reprendre la lutte au XIXe siècle. /p. 41/ Le Waalo connut en 1825 un soulèvement maraboutique qui fut sans lendemain. En 1859 les marabouts du Ndiambour ne furent guère plus heureux dans leur tentative de renverser la royauté.

  • Making Room Vs. Creating Space Senegalese Traders on the Road in Europe and America
    Revised and Expanded MAKING ROOM VS. CREATING SPACE SENEGALESE TRADERS ON THE ROAD IN EUROPE AND AMERICA victoria Ebin ORSTOM, Dakar DRAFT COPY NOT FOR CITATION Introduction In this paper l will explore how Senegalese traders, who belong to the Mouride brotherhood, make claims on and use space during their travels in Europe and America. During the past ten years, this brotherhood which has its origins in rural Senegal has become what Cohen has called a "trading diaspora" (1971). Constantly traveling in search of new goods and clients, Mouride traders generally have neither time nor resources to transform their living quarters in any radical way. We shall explore just how they impose an identity on their surroundings. Like the puzzle about a tree falling in the forest, if no one is there to hear it, does it make a noise? If there are no Mourides in a room, is the room, in any definable way, Mouride ? Mouride History : The brotherhood was founded by a local holy man, Cheikh Amadu Bamba (1853-1927), who attracted a following of landless farmers, as weIl as former rulers. Viewed by the French as a dangerous resistance leader, Amadu Bamba was repeatedly sent into exile which only served to enhance his popularity. Upon each return, he was greeted by increasingly large and devoted crowds (1) . Cheikh Amadu Bamba gave the name Touba ("finest, sweetest") to the village whicheventually became the capital of Mouridism (Cruise O'Brien 1971:47). In the early 1890's, he had a prophetie revelation at the site where the mosque of Touba was later built (cruise O'Brien 1971:41).
