This article posits that a new and important transformation is occurring in Sahelian society. Westerners have tended to see the rise of "Islamism" as just another rejection of globalization and modernization. This article argues that another interpretation is possible, one that looks at the rise of movements like Izala as an attempt of embryonic Hausa capitalists to become part of globalization by substituting a much more individualized set of beliefs and behaviors for the older social and normative constructs of "traditional" Hausa society that obliged them to limit their accumulation of capital
