La colonisation de l'Afrique par les puissances européennes a été alimentée par l'invention d'une hiérarchie raciale et d'un ensemble d'opérations par lesquelles les communautés africaines ont été dépossédées de leurs cultures et expulsées du territoire de l'histoire. Face à cette expropriation et à ce bannissement, l'Afrique et la diaspora noire n'ont pas manqué de produire des contre-récits de la « mission civilisatrice » de l'Occident. En revitalisant les narrations orales et les cultures matérielles dédaignées, l'histoire africaine et noire de l'Afrique a sans cesse cherché à conjuguer l'unité et la diversité des sociétés du continent, pour revendiquer un récit de l'universel enfin débarrassé de l'impérialisme occidental.

This collection critically examines "tolerance," "secularism," and respect for religious "diversity" within a social and political system dominated by Sufi brotherhoods. Through a detailed analysis of Senegal's political economy, essays trace the genealogy and dynamic exchange among these concepts while investigating public spaces and political processes and their reciprocal engagement with the state, Sunni reformist and radical groups, and non-religious organizations. The anthology provides a rich and nuanced historical ethnography of the formation of Senegalese democracy, illuminating the complex trajectory of the Senegalese state and reflecting on similar postcolonial societies. Offering rare perspectives on the country's "successes" since liberation, the volume identifies the role of religion, gender, culture, ethnicity, globalization, politics, and migration in the reconfiguration of the state and society, and it makes an important contribution to democratization theory, Islamic studies, and African studies.
