Description

Veils, Turbans, and Islamic Reform in Northern Nigeria tells the story of Islamic reform from the perspective of dress, textile production, trade, and pilgrimage over the past 200 years. As Islamic reformers have sought to address societal problems such as poverty, inequality, ignorance, unemployment, extravagance, and corruption, they have used textiles as a means to express their religious positions on these concerns. Home first to the early indigo trade and later to a thriving textile industry, northern Nigeria has been a center for Islamic practice as well as a place where everything from women’s hijabs to turbans, buttons, zippers, short pants, and military uniforms offers a statement on Islam. Elisha P. Renne argues that awareness of material distinctions, religious ideology, and the political and economic contexts from which successive Islamic reform groups have emerged is important for understanding how people in northern Nigeria continue to seek a proper Islamic way of being in the world and how they imagine their futures―spiritually, economically, politically, and environmentally. Review Renne has written an exciting albeit challenging book. Readers unfamiliar with Nigeria and its complex history may feel overwhelmed at times by the sheer multitude of references to historic events and personalities. This notwithstanding, the book has a great many insights to offer to scholars of religious reform, Islamic dress and northern Nigeria. Everyone with an interest in these topics should read it.--Hannah Hoechner "Islamic Africa" Review The topic of Islamic dress in Nigeria is very rich, complicated by gender, global-local networks, politics, the economy, successive waves of religious reform, and a vibrant, multiethnic society with a strong history of using dress to craft and perform identities. I applaud Elisha Renne for her objectivity and nuanced approach to this politically charged subject. Author: Heather Akou, author of The Politics of Dress in Somali Culture From the Author Elisha P.
