Description

Explore a different perspective on the history of Islam in Africa with Beyond Jihad by Lamin Sanneh. While many believe the religion spread primarily through military conquest, this work challenges that common narrative. Lamin Sanneh examines the actual methods of expansion, focusing on the peaceful traditions that shaped the faith in West Africa. This book traces the growth of Islam from its origins on the Arabian peninsula to its widespread adoption across the continent. By studying the transmission of Islam through trans-Saharan trade routes and its early expansion in North Africa, the text provides a detailed look at how a global religion of over a billion people evolved through non-violent means. It is an essential read for anyone interested in African history, religious studies, or the complex social movements that defined the region's development over the last 1400 years.
