Summary
"Muslim Institutions of Higher Education in Postcolonial Africa seeks to enrich the public debate on Muslim education in Africa by offering new insight into the evolving encounter between the diversity of local Islamic knowledge and the politics of transnational trends of Muslim education. Contributors include scholars in the field of Islamic education and administrators in Muslim institutions. Using theoretical studies, case studies of these institutions, and analyzing issues of intellectual viability and graduate visibility in these institutions this volume is will serve students from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds"-- Provided by publisher.
"Muslim Institutions of Higher Education in Postcolonial Africa examines the colonial discriminatory practices against Muslim education through control and dismissal and discusses the education reform movement of the post-colonial experience. Lo and Haron examine the construction processes of Muslim scholastic communities across the continent, and these case studies describe a trajectory that is in accord with the intellectual agenda of the global Muslim community, in which Africa has been designated as a significant periphery"-- Provided by publisher.
