Religious Transnationalism and Climate Change
Tablighi Jama’at and Urban Religious Order
By studying the renowned transnational movement of Indian origin, the Tablighi Jama’at (TJ), Sadouni extends the analysis of the role played by religion in Somalis’ urban mobilisation. Somalis have become members of the TJ and contribute to the global shape of this religious movement. The chapter does not focus on the history of TJ in South African society, or describe its mode of deterritorialisation as a process of transnational religious circu…
Muslims in Southern Africa
This book draws on archival and ethnographic research to present a socio-historical analysis of the Muslim diaspora in Johannesburg and it impact on urban development in the context of Somali migrations in the Southern African Indian Ocean region from the end of the 19th Century to today.
The Context of Indian Ocean Spatiality
The village of Johannesburg was founded in 1886 and its growth and development into a city need to be understood in terms of its location at the crossroads of the Indian Ocean region, an area shaped by the colonial state, the religious and merchant networks, the rise of European capitalist interests and, of course, by the flows of European and non-European migrations. Regarding the latter, the chapter draws attention to the groups of Cape Malays …
Playing global
In this article, I examine the role of religion in Somali and Indian Muslims' adaptations to South Africa's ethno-racial political regimes from the country's colonial to its post-apartheid eras. Somali and Indian Muslims created and drew on transnational dimensions of global Islam to contest the racial status imposed on their communities. Although colonial and apartheid legacies of ethnic separation, racial hierarchies and discrimination still ma…
Somalis in Johannesburg
This chapter focuses on a particular group, Somali refugees, who add to the diversity of Islam and to the ways of being Muslim in South Africa, thus contributing to the analysis of a group which is still understudied. It also examines how Somalis' spatiality has created new Muslim communities and spaces in inner-city Johannesburg. The main argument of the chapter is that religious solidarity, a religious urban environment and aspiration represent…
Ahmed Deedat, Internationalisation, and Transformations of Islamic Polemic
The South African preacher, Ahmed Deedat, has developed a specific discourse on the nature of relations between Muslims and Other religions through polemic and public debates. This paper describes the mechanisms of the circulation of his thought and activities and its political character. Deedat is a relevant actor in 'Muslim politics' who has not been thoroughly studied in the field of Muslim proselytism. His political activities were inscribed …
La controverse islamo-chrétienne en Afrique du sud
La communauté indienne d’Afrique du Sud, présente depuis le xixe siècle, est divisée par religions (notamment hindouisme et islam). Cette division, mise à profit par l’apartheid, a eu pour effet de souder fortement la communauté musulmane. Dès lors, certains religieux, et notamment Ahmed Deedat, ont prôné une lutte idéologique contre le christianisme, parallèlement à un développement des services sociaux. Dépendant des aides financières du Pakist…
Humanisme spirituel et ONG islamiques en Afrique du Sud
Cet article porte sur l’étude des ONG islamiques d’Afrique du Sud comme acteurs du développement et de nouvelles formes d’identités religieuses. Dans le contexte postapartheid, elles ont la particularité de renforcer le processus de sécularisation interne à la communauté musulmane. Leurs modes de publicisation prennent ainsi les formes d’un humanisme spirituel défini comme le prolongement d’une parole religieuse de la responsabilité qui s’univers…
God is not Unemployed
This article examines the critical interrelationships between economic, cultural and religious affiliations in the lives of Somali refugees in Johannesburg. The article argues that these Somali migrants are developing strong communal experiences, an explicit ethno-religious identity and resilient ties (of remittances and trade) between the home country and the migrant community
Introduction
The wave of anti-immigrant violence in Johannesburg in May 2008 put the issue of migration into South Africa high on the political agenda.1 Most residents in Johannesburg had experienced an ever-gr
New Religious Actors in South Africa
Islamic humanitarianism in South Africa represents new political, social, and economic horizons for the South African Muslim minority.1 Its development in the 1970s was strongly linked to reformist and transnational Islamic trends. This essay will attempt to analyze current forms of Islamic aid from a sociohistorical perspective which takes into account the influence of religious globalization in the emergence of new Muslim actors as well as thei…
Ahmed Deedat et l'islam indien en Afrique du Sud
L'étude de la trajectoire transnationale du prédicateur-controversiste sud-africain d'origine indienne, Ahmed Deedat, participe à l'analyse de l'individualisation et de la globalisation du mouvement de réislamisation depuis les années 1950. Le style original de son modèle de prédication islamique repose essentiellement sur la polémique islamo-chrétienne. Elle est présentée comme un nouveau mode de défense de l'islam face aux missionnaires chrétie…
