摘要

As Westerners debate the presence of Muslims on the world stage and public concerns about unstable African states increase, this article explores the kinds of themes emerging in the English literature on African Muslims as transnational migrants. While the concept of transnationalism has been widely deployed across disciplines and thus, variously defined, it generally refers to the multiple processes that allow people to live in ways that span two or more societies simultaneously, essentially merging these multiple locations into a single field of activity. However, transnational studies have virtually ignored religion and African migration, including the role they play in our understanding of this research area, as African Muslims integrate into Western nations and negotiate their unique sense of belonging. As such, I discuss three subject areas that attempt to provide a way of thinking about how African Muslims are engaged in transnational processes: (1) transnationality and the African Muslim Diaspora; (2) a transnational African Islam from below; and (3) Africa and transnational Muslim networks. Ultimately, this work offers insights from a rich and growing tradition of transnational activity among African Muslims, and it urges scholars to consider the limitations of transnational studies without the inclusion of this critical material.View full textDownload full textRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13602004.2012.746578
