This book is one of the first comprehensive studies of Islam as locally understood in the Middle East. Specifically, it is concerned with the prevalent North African belief that certain men, called marabouts, have a special relation to God that enables them to serve as intermediaries and to influence the well-being of their clients and kin. Dale F. Eickelman examines the Moroccan pilgrimage center of Boujad and unpublished Moroccan and French archival materials related to it to show how popular Islam has been modified by its adherents to accommodate new social and economic realities. In the course of his analysis he demonstrates the necessary interrelationship between social history and the anthropological study of symbolism. Eickelman begins with an outline of the early development of Islam in Morocco, emphasizing the "maraboutic crisis" of the fourteenth through sixteenth centuries. He also examines the history and social characteristics of the Sherqawi religious lodge, on which the study focuses, in preprotectorate Morocco. In the central portion of the book, he analyzes the economic activities and social institutions of Boujad and its rural hinterland, as well as some basic assumptions the townspeople and tribesmen make about the social order. Finally, there is an intensive discussion of maraboutism as a phenomenon and the changing local character of Islam in Morocco. In focusing on the "folk" level of Islam, rather than on "high culture" tradition, the author has made possible a more general interpretation of Moroccan society that is in contrast with earlier accounts that postulated a marked discontinuity between tribe and town, past and present.

L’islam et le christianisme, présents en Inde depuis plus d’un millénaire, y comptent respectivement 10 et 20 mil­lions d’adeptes (sur un total de 850 millions d’habitants). Ces deux religions du Livre se sont acclimatées aux contextes lo­caux, et leur adaptation, sous des formes plurielles, variables selon les époques, a suscité des débats sans fin parmi leurs fidèles. Un tel développement, s’il a parfois engendré des ten­sions dans les rapports inter-communautaires, ne peut se comprendre sans être replacé dans le cadre plus global des acculturations incessantes que connaît la société indienne, que ce soit celles entre mouvements religieux, ou régions, langues, castes, etc. Les auteurs des douze contributions à ce volume, qui couvrent le Nord comme le Sud de la péninsule, ont choisi d’aborder la question des musulmans et des chrétiens en Inde en mettant l’accent sur les mille et une façons dont les acteurs sociaux construisent et définissent in situ leur(s) identité(s) et leur altérité. Ils se sont intéressés aussi bien aux pratiques qu’aux controverses, en faisant appel à des disciplines variées : anthropologie, histoire, philologie, linguistique, sociologie urbaine. S’opposant aux discours que tiennent sur les chrétiens et les musulmans les militants radicaux du nationalisme hindou, cette approche souligne les spécifi­cités des formes multiples de l’islam et du christianisme indiens, désormais confrontés aux transformations de l’hindouisme et aux interrogations profondes nées d’une « modernisation » prenant l’Occident pour modèle. Ces études invitent à la comparaison avec les autres aires culturelles où s’épanouissent également ces deux religions du Livre.
