It aims at examining the genesis, development and fruition of the thoughts and ideas which spurred this tradition over the centuries in the region. To this extent, the study represents an attempt at the intellectual history of the Islamic revolutionary movements in the 19th century Western Bilad al-Sudan. The rationale for this study emanates from the fact that previous studies on the jihad movements in the region tended to interpret events outside the Islamic frame of reference and pay little heed to the thoughts and ideas of tajdid, which in point of fact were the key motivating factors. Recent studies which conceded to Islam a central role in these events have, with some justification, concentrated on individual manifestations of the phenomenon of tajdid. While this brings us closer to understanding these movements, it does not provide us with the broader perspective within which the real weight and significance of these events can be assessed and appreciated. Thus this study of the tradition of tajdid provides us not only with the perspective within which to appreciate the various jihad movements but, perhaps even more important, it informs us about the genus of which the jihad movements are species. The study first discussed the concept, meaning and place of tajdid in Islam to provide both a working concept for tajdid and the Islamic frame of reference within which events are 3 interpreted. The study then focused on the tradition of learning in Western Bilad al-Sudan, within which the thoughts and ideas of tajdid were nurtured and developed. The genesis and development of the thoughts and ideas of tajdid were then traced and five various approaches to tajdid, the schools of tajdid, as it were, that developed between the 16th to the l8th centuries were discerned. tajdid in the 19th century which took the form of intensive teaching followed by jihad and the reordering of society (islah) was then discussed in the context of these schools of tajdid. The study then examined and discussed the features of this tradition of tajdid. The study was able to show that this tradition of tajdid has deep roots in the history of the region and provides a key component for the understanding of the major social, economic and political developments in the region. It was also shown that the thoughts and ideas of tajdid lie at the very core of the Islamic worldview and tend to retain their potency through the vagaries of time and may continue to do so for the foreseeable future. 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT My thanks and gratitude are first and foremost to Allah the Most High, for reasons too obvious and too numerous to mention here. I wish to then express my profound gratitude to my Supervisors, Dr. al-Tayyib Z. al'Abidin who started supervising the work and Professor Yusuf Fadl Hasan who saw it through to its rather tedious end. To both I shall remain indebted for their patience and understanding and above all for the valuable suggestions they made in the course of this work. As is usual with a work of this nature, there are several institutions and individuals who have rendered varied and valuable assistance during the course of this work. While it is not possible to mention all, it is certainly unfair not to mention any. I wish to therefore gratefully acknowledge the assistance of the Munazzamat al-Da'wa al-Islamiyya, the International University of Africa (formally the Islamic African Centre), both in Khartoum, Sudan; the Muslim World League, Makka, Saudi Arabia; the Islamic Council, London, UK; and the Islamic Foundation Leicester, UK, whose assistance, hospitality and research facilities were of great benefit. I must also express my gratitude to the staff of educational and research institutions like the IFAN, University of Dakar, Senegal; CEDRAB, Timbuktu, Mali; SOAS, University of London, UK; Centre for West African Studies, University of Birmingham, UK; and the Institute of African and Asian Studies, University of Khartoum, Sudan. I should also like to convey my thanks and appreciation to several individuals who rendered assistance in several ways, especially Dr. Tijani 'Abd Qadir, and Dr. Ibrahim Zein, both of 5 the Institute of Islamic Studies, and Dr. Al-Amin Abu Manga of the Institute of African and Asian Studies, all of the University of Khartoum, Sudan; Mallam Ibrahim Sulaiman of the C.I.L.S. A.B.U. Zaria; and P. Farlas of the CWAS, University of Birmingham, UK; many of whom found time to read parts of my drafts and made useful observations and suggestions. I must also mention Ambassador Ibrahim Karfi and Alhaji Aminu Hanga whose hospitality in Khartoum and London respectively was of tremendous assistance in writing up this work. Needless, perhaps, to add that, I alone take responsibility for whatever shortcomings are found in this work. Lastly, but by no means the least, I wish to express my sincere thanks to the Board of Trustees of the Islamic Trust of Nigeria, especially its chairman, for allowing me a generous study leave and the Institute of the African and Asian Studies for the opportunity to undertake the study. 6 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Rationale The days when African history was seen as an appendage of European history have certainly gone for good. But the influence of European perspective on African history seems to linger on and may take some time to wither away. In West Africa in particular, the jihad movements of the 19th century, which were once thought to be inner reactions to European presence in the region, have continued to be seen and studied within the western European frame of reference. Several studies on these jihad movements, for example, tended to interpret events outside the Islamic frame of reference and paid little heed to the thoughts and ideas of tajdid, which in point of fact were the key motivating factors. It was only recently that the Islamic character of the jihad movements began to be gradually, if grudgingly, conceded. This liberation, as it were, has already revealed the link between the 19th century jihads, and the previous reform movements in the region. This has raised hopes that the real history of this astonishing phenomenon of tajdid in West Africa will eventually be known. To be sure, it was Professor Abdullahi Smith, who exactly three decades ago, first discerned and boldly, then, stated that "the history of the West African Savannah in the 19th century has its own independent theme and this consists in a series of revolutionary movements which radically changed the social and political complexion of the whole zone during the hundred years 7 or so before the establishment of European government"0 In his submission Smith called for special efforts to be expended in the collection of the large body of written materials and oral traditions relating to these jihad movements. Nearly two years later, M. Hiskett, who along with A.D.H. Bivar, had been collecting and working on manuscripts relating to these jihads, realised that these works "illustrate the development of a tradition of reform which, having remote origins in the Almoravid movement of the eleventh century A. D., achieved literary expression in the Muslim empire of Songhay in the sixteenth century and which was continued in the Habe (i.e. Hausa) Kingdoms almost three centuries later."1 About a decade later, P.D. Curtin noted that while the jihads have come into focus, the emerging details of the individual movements call for a broader synthesis. "While it is no longer possible" Curtin observed, "to write sensibly about the Soninke marabout wars of the Gambia without some understanding of what sheikh 'Uthman Danfodio had already accomplished a half-century earlier and two thousand miles away, the wave of influence linking these revolts remain cloudy.”2 Thus it was increasingly felt that there was a common Islamic tradition from whence these various jihad movements drew both their inspiration as well as example. And until we can fathom this tradition and discern the nature of the linkages of the various 0 H.F.C.

  • The Aghlabids and Their Neighbors: an Introduction
    Please provide footnote text Chapter 1 The Aghlabids and Their Neighbors: An Introduction Glaire D. Anderson, Corisande Fenwick, and Mariam Rosser-Owen This book takes an interdisciplinary and transregional approach to the Aghlabid dynasty and ninth-century North Africa, to highlight the region’s im- portant interchange with other medieval societies in the Mediterranean and beyond. It comprises new invited essays alongside revised versions of select papers presented at the symposium, “The Aghlabids and Their Neighbors: Art and Material Culture in Ninth-Century North Africa,” held in London in May 2014 under the aegis of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.1 This event was originally intended as a small interdisciplinary workshop on the his- tory and material culture of the Aghlabid dynasty of Ifriqiya and its immediate neighbors in the region, but it rapidly became a larger event when we real- ized the scale of scholarly interest in the topic. The workshop brought scholars together from different national as well as disciplinary traditions to consider the Aghlabids and their neighbors, with the aim of moving toward a more in- tegrated understanding of this crucial dynasty and period within the Islamic world. Our stated aim in the call for papers was to consider North Africa not as a peripheral frontier whose artistic production was inferior to or derivative of trends in the Abbasid heartlands of Iraq and Egypt, which is how it has long been situated in the history of Islamic art, but as one of the vibrant centers of the early medieval dār al-Islām. In doing so, we hoped not only to reevaluate problematic yet persistent notions of the region’s peripherality in Islamic (art) history and archaeology, but also to illuminate processes of acculturation and interaction between ninth-century North Africa, Iberia, Sicily/Italy, and other regions.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Contested Legend of al-Kâhina: Prophetess or Propaganda? A thesis submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Master of Art in African Studies by Jessica Leigh Keuter 2019 © Copyright by Jessica Leigh Keuter 2019 ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS The Contested Legend of al-Kâhina: Prophetess or Propaganda? by Jessica Leigh Keuter Master of Arts in African Studies University of California, Los Angeles, 2019 Professor Ghislaine Lydon, Chair With depictions ranging from anti-Muslim resistance warrior of the seventh century to mythical priestess, al-Kâhina looms large in the historical narratives of North African Amazigh, Jewish, and Arab peoples. Despite her legendary status, al-Kâhina’s existence as a historical female figure who reigned over the Amazigh is disputed. In this paper, I highlight the long history of colonial occupation and continual resistance organizing by the Amazigh prior to al-Kâhina’s battles with the Arab invaders at the end of the seventh century. Through analysis of secondary sources, I examine how both Arab and French occupations appropriated the legend to promote their agendas. I argue that al-Kâhina’s story has been used to enforce or combat different political agendas, both historically and today. Presently in the region , al-Kâhina has been iconized and used as the “face” of Amazigh nationalist and cultural movements. ii The thesis of Jessica Leigh Keuter is approved. Katherine M.

[email protected] Généalogies et géographies tribales Résumé : Cet article tire ses matériaux des travaux de G. Lazarev (en cours de publication) sur les « Populations et les territoires du Maghreb, VII°-XI° siècle ». Il propose quelques réflexions sur les rapports entre les généalogies et les géographies tribales pendant la période médiévale. Il fait bien entendu référence à Ibn Khaldûn et à l’approche généalogique de son histoire des groupements ethniques berbères jusqu’au XIV° siècle. L’analyse montre cependant les biais de son approche et son adéquation des généalogies à la succession des phases successives de l’histoire du Maghreb. Une contre-analyse permet de déceler les correspondances qui s’établissent entre les blocs généalogiques et la géographie des tribus du Maghreb. Cette contre-analyse vérifie une intuition tardive d’Ibn Khaldûn, mais que déterminé par le conformisme généalogique de son époque, il n’a pas appliquée dans son ouvrage antérieur, le kitab al ibar1. Mots clé : Maghreb médiéval, tribus berbères, généalogie tribale, géographie tribale au Maghreb Abstract: This paper is based upon works by G. Lazarev (in process of publication) on « Populations and Territories in Maghreb, VII°-XI° centuries ». It offers some thoughts on the relationships between genealogies and tribal geographies in medieval times. Of course, it refers to Ibn Khaldûn and to his genealogical approach of berber ethnic groups until century XIV. An analysis showshowever his approach’many biases due to hissimplified adequation to the successive phases ofMaghreb history.

In this work I present a method for locating linked data to preserve which functions even when the URI the user wishes to preserve does not resolve (i.e. is broken/not RDF) and an application for monitoring and preserving the data. This work is based upon the principle of adapting ideas from hypermedia link integrity in order to apply them to the Semantic Web.

  • Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe's Rise: Political
    Appendix for “The Feudal Revolution and Europe’s Rise: Political Divergence of the Christian West and the Muslim World before 1500 CE” August 1, 2012 1 Feudalism and Political Stability To formalize the intuition presented in Section 3.3 using a simple framework, suppose that a perfectly myopic, risk-neutral sovereign imperfectly controls a polity that creates output of size one each period. Denote by γ the amount of land controlled by the military regardless of the actions of the sovereign (this can be interpreted as the percentage of the entire polity controlled by the military). Suppose that there are N perfectly myopic, risk-neutral members of the military (where N is sufficiently large) and that γ is evenly distributed between the members of this class. We consider the parameter value γ exogenously given. A value of γ = 0 corresponds to a perfectly absolutist sovereign (who uses mamluks or mercenaries to staff his military) whereas higher values of γ denote more feudal arrangements. Note that our assumption of perfectly myopic agents allows us to abstract from the potentially important issue of how the sovereign compensates the military (i.e., iqta’ rents versus land grants).1 In addition, we abstract from other important issues in order to focus on the sovereign’s desire to prevent a successful revolt. We do so in order to highlight one mechanism that we believe contributes to the observed increase in ruler duration. The order of play in the game is as follows: after observing γ the sovereign moves first and decides whether to keep the entire amount of output he controls to himself or whether to divide it equally between himself and the military.

Standing among great Orientalists of the 19th century, Dozy studied Islamic history and civilization and wrote books on them. His scholarship is evident in his works and articles encompassing the fields of history and literature. The objective of this study was to showcase his background and his authority as a scholarly figure on the history and civilization of al-Andalus. A qualitative study approach was employed via historical study and content analysis methods by analyzing primary and contemporary sources. This study argues that Dozy was a meticulous historian who carefully selected his sources of reference in writing his works.
