The thread that runs through the book is the life and times of Sitt? ?Alawiyya al-M?r?an? (1892-1940), a representative of a well-established transnational Sufi order in the Red Sea region. Silvia Bruzzi gives us not only a social history of the colonial encounter in the Eritrean colony, but also a wider historical account of supra-regional dynamics across the Red Sea, the Ethiopian hinterland, and the Mediterranean region, using a wide range of fragmentary historical materials to make an important contribution towards filling the gap that currently exists in women's and gender history in Muslim societies. 410 0$aIslam in Africa ;$vVolume 21. 606 $aSufism$zAfrica, Northeast$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aIslam$zAfrica, Northeast$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen sufis$zAfrica, Northeast$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aWomen in Islam$zAfrica, Northeast$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aSufism$xHistory 615 0$aIslam$xHistory 615 0$aWomen sufis$xHistory 615 0$aWomen in Islam$xHistory 676 $a297.40963 700 $aBruzzi$b Silvia$0374292 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822960503321 996 $aIslam and gender in colonial northeast Africa$93954825 997 $aUNINA
