But few people know that Timbuktu was only one of many centers of Islamic learning in precolonial West Africa. This book analyses the rise and transformation of Arabo-Islamic erudition in West Africa from the beginning of the spread of Islam through the colonial period to the twenty-first century. It highlights the contribution of Muslim scholars in the production and transmission of knowledge and in shaping state and society in West Africa. It argues that no study of the history of education or knowledge production in West Africa will be complete unless it pays attention to this intellectual tradition. The book further shows how European colonialism obstructs historiography so that we know so little about it. Finally, the book analyze the transformation of West African educational system, in the twentieth and twenty first century and shows that far from declining, the Islamic tradition of West Africa has gained vitality in the postcolonial period."--$$cProvided by publisher. 000812447 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000812447 650_0 $$aIslamic learning and scholarship$$zAfrica, West$$xHistory. 000812447 650_0 $$aIslamic learning and scholarship$$zMali$$zTombouctou$$xHistory. 000812447 650_0 $$aEducation$$zAfrica, West$$xHistory. 000812447 650_0 $$aEducation$$xPolitical aspects$$zAfrica, West$$xHistory. 000812447 651_0 $$aAfrica, West$$xIntellectual life. 000812447 651_0 $$aAfrica, West$$xCivilization$$xIslamic influences. 000812447 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKane, Ousmane.$$tBeyond Timbuktu.$$dCambridge, Massachusetts : Harvard University Press, 2016$$z9780674050822$$w(DLC) 2015050589$$w(OCoLC)926061414 000812447 852__ $$bacq 000812447 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000812447 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1241551$$zOnline Access 000812447 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:812447$$pGLOBAL_SET 000812447 980__ $$aEBOOK 000812447 980__ $$aBIB 000812447 982__ $$aEbook 000812447 983__ $$aOnline 000812447 994__ $$a92$$bISE
