 Publisher description for Library of Congress control number 94013358
While studies of Islam and politics have tended to focus on the destabilizing force of religiously-based groups, the author argues that in Senegal the orders have been a central component of a political system that has been among the most stable in Africa.

This is a major study, that should be read by every student of Islam and politics as well as of Africa.
