Controlling Knowledge
by Louis Brenner (9781850654414)

Controlling Knowledge examines the history of West African Muslim society in the Republic of Mali, formerly the Soudan Franais, in the twentieth century. Focusing on the transformation of Muslim institutions especially modernized Muslim schools (mdersas) and voluntary organizations over the the past hundred years, Louis Brenner uncovers the social and political processes that have produced new forms, definitions and expressions of Islam that are patently different from those that prevailed a century earlier.
