The essays in this lively volume address various aspects of the expanding and evolving range of educational choices available to Muslims in sub-Saharan Africa. Contributors from the United States, Europe, and Africa evaluate classical Islamic education in Africa from colonial times to the present, including changes in pedagogical methods'from sitting to standing, from individual to collective learning, from recitation to analysis. Also discussed are the differences between British, French, Belgian, and Portuguese education in Africa and between mission schools and Qur'anic schools; changes to the classical Islamic curriculum; the changing intent of Islamic education; the modernization of pedagogical styles and tools; hybrid forms of religious and secular education; the inclusion of women in Qur'anic schools; and the changing notion of what it means to be an educated person in Africa. A new view of the role of Islamic education, especially its politics and controversies in today's age of terrorism, emerges from this broadly comparative volume. 606 $aEducation$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 606 $aMuslims$xEducation$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory 606 $aIslamic education$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory 606 $aIslamic religious education$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xHistory 607 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xColonial influence 615 0$aEducation 615 0$aMuslims$xEducation$xHistory. 615 0$aIslamic education$xHistory. 615 0$aIslamic religious education$xHistory. 676 $a297.770967 702 $aLaunay$b Robert$f1949- 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798889603321 996 $aIslamic education in Africa$91553352 997 $aUNINA
