Narratives as Muslim Practice in Senegal

By Mamarame Seck

Sufi oral discourse in Senegal is overwhelmingly dominated by stories about past and current shaykhs. These oral texts, deeply rooted in their context of production, which dictates their form and functions, are still generally unknown to scholars of Islam in Senegal and West Africa. By filling this gap, this book contributes to the discourse of religions in general and Sufi Islam in particular.
