A city that keeps a country going
In part an academic reminiscence looking back at a lifetime of research into Muslim communities in and around the city of Dakar, this article situates the city within the contexts of Senegal and Africa while focusing on a seldom‐mentioned paradox: that Senegal's emergent sense of unified nationhood is to a large extent predicated on the near‐absence of written texts in the country's most widely spoken language, urban or "Dakar" Wolof. I discuss s…

The shadow-politics of Wolofisation
The relationship between language and politics in the African post-colony remains obscure and underexamined. Here we withdraw into a poorly lit area, an area of potentialities, where new political shapes may emerge as the outcome of half-conscious choices made by very large numbers of people. Language choices in the first place: the expansion of the Wolof language in Senegal, principally though far from exclusively an urban phenomenon, is to be s…

Le «contrat social» sénégalais à l'épreuve
The senegalese social contract to the test. The Senegalese State has been tied to the religious brotherhoods for a long time by a social contract which is notow threatened. Since Abdou Diouf has come to power, the modernization of the political and administrative machinery seems to be bound to a conflict with the islamic tradition, bringing abouts faults in the logic of clientelism which had until now been operating.

Modernization, order, and the erosion of a democratic ideal
Studies of 'modernization' conducted by American political scientists over the past decade (1960–70) show a shift in teleological emphasis through which democracy as a goal for developing polities has been gradually displaced by another ideal, that of institutional order. This shift in emphasis is here related (a) to an emerging pattern of political dislocation in new states; (b) to United States government policy in dealing with these states; (c…

Towards an ‘Islamic Policy’ in French West Africa, 1854–1914
The French government, in the early part of this period, from 1854 to the turn of the century, did not have a consistent or systematic ‘Islamic policy’ for ts colonial possessions. There were, however, certain patterns of administration which, quite unintentionally, gave a new impetus to the spread of Islam in Vest Africa. The first section of the article deals with this period, when the basis for later policy was laid but when policy was not yet…
Political opposition in Senegal
Since the separate independence of Senegal in June 1960, after the breakup of the Mali Federation, organized political opposition in Senegal has not been able to maintain the position which it enjoyed before independence. The failure of the opposition can be explained only in part by reference to the repressive measures adopted by the government over this period; it should also be seen as a result of the internal weaknesses of the opposition itse…
