Le rêve et la temporalité de l’être
[...] La linéarité ne rend pas compte avec précision de l’expérience du temps et de la conscience historique, même en Occident et chez les Occidentaux qui font eux aussi l’expérience du passé dans le présent ; ils et elles ne sont pas à l’abri de voir des fantômes, de faire l’expérience de l’étrange ou du déjà-vu, ou d’avoir des prémonitions. Peut-être ne sommes-nous pas aussi modernes que nous le pensons. Ou bien, peut-être que la fixation histo…
What’s In the Manuscripts of Timbuktu? A Survey of the Contents of 31 Private Libraries
The Arabic manuscripts of Timbuktu have received considerable publicity during the past 25 years, yet their contents remain largely unknown. Since 2012, an inventory of nearly 350,000 Timbuktu manuscripts in private libraries has been underway, and the contents of those libraries are now accessible in the West African Arabic Manuscript Database (WAAMD). This analysis examines 31 of the 35 libraries and in addition to reporting on their contents, …

Historical Dictionary of Mauritania
Mauritania is bordered by Senegal in the south, Mali in the east, Algeria in the far northeast, and the disputed territory of Western Sahara to the north. Comprised mostly of vast stretches of desert, this young country has escaped the ravages of the violent interstate and civil conflicts that have so bedeviled Africa. Mauritanian society possesses ancient antecedents and a universal religious faith that has been practiced over several centuries.…

The Haroun Ould Sidia Collection of Arabic Manuscripts
In a previous number of this journal, a note on the development of a computer-based Arabic manuscript finding aid described its application to a manuscript microfilming project in Boutilimit, Mauritania. The filming of that collection was then (at the time the note was written in the spring of 1989) in its second phase, and the work was concluded in December of that year. Thanks to the technology developed for the finding aid to that collection, …

Computer-Based Arabic Manuscript Management
During the 1987/88 academic year an Arabic manuscript microfilm project at Boutilimit, Mauritania, under sponsorship of the National Endowment for the Humanities and the University of Illinois, completed the first phase of a library preservation program with the filming of some 25.5 lineal feet/8.1 lineal meters of Arabic manuscripts (or slightly over 100,000 folios of material) on eighty-five reels. This filmed collection is available to researc…

Islam
Islam was still a new faith when it was carried across North Africa and down the East African coast. The particular adaptations of Islam in sub-Saharan Africa were typical of the variety of Muslim communities on other frontiers of the Islamic world. Islam had spread along trade routes into the West African rain forest, as in Asante, and in south-western Nigeria it was well established by 1905 in several Yoruba towns. On the eastern fringes of Eth…

Introduction
The term 'popular Islam' at once suggests denial or fragmentation within the Great Tradition or 'orthodoxy' in Islam as well as a degree of hostility on the part of those Islamicists and Muslims whose understanding of the oneness of God extends to the indivisibility of His Community. Social scientists may be expected to embrace the notion with more enthusiasm, being accustomed to observing Islam 'from below', but legitimate disquiet follows after…

Southern Saharan Scholarship and the Bilad Al-Sudan
By way of drawing attention to a neglected theme in West African history this article focuses upon southern Saharan society and the intellectual tradition of its scholarly ( zawiya and insilimen ) lineages. It is argued that societies of the southern Sahara have remarkably similar social, political and economic organizations and that the zawiya/insilimen scholars were therefore the product of comparable political and economic milieus. One result …
Frontier Disputes and Problems of Legitimation
The nature of relations between the neighbouring West African caliphates of Sokoto and Hamdullahi in the early nineteenth century has been the subject of speculation by students of the western and central Sudan from the time of Barth's visit to the area in the mid-nineteenth century. Now, working from several new manuscript finds and the evidence built up by scholars who have studied the two caliphates in detail, a tentative reconstruction of rel…

What form does social inequality take without classes? How does the ecology of an area, in particular the Zaire basin, interact with social organization? What forms of production existed in different areas? What were the effects of mercantile capitalism on tribal production? These questions and more are tackled with a view to increasing our understanding of industrial development in precolonial Africa
