Islam, Youth, and Modernity in the Gambia: The Tablighi Jama'at - The International African Library
Janson, Marloes (Lecturer in Anthropology, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London)
This monograph explores the expansion of the Tablighi Jama'at, a transnational Islamic missionary movement that originated in India in the mid-nineteenth century, and its impact in the Gambia (West Africa) in the past decade. The book investigates how Gambian youth have incorporated the South Asian Tablighi ideology into their daily lives and adapted it to their local context.
