Description

Explore the complex social and religious landscape of the Indian Ocean through Anne Bang's study of the Alawiyya tariqa. This academic work examines how this specific Islamic brotherhood spread and maintained its faith across East Africa between 1860 and 1925. Originating in the South-Yemeni region of Hadramawt, the Alawi tariqa traveled along the Indian Ocean coast, acting as cultural mediators within a multi-ethnic and multi-religious environment. This book provides a detailed look at family networks and the propagation of religious identity during the era of European colonialism. Part of the Routledge Indian Ocean Series, this text is an essential resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the history of Islamic movements. It offers a clear perspective on how religious networks functioned as bridges between different cultures in a changing world.
