Beyond the Stream : Islam and Society in a West African Town

Launay, Robert
Berkeley :  University of California Press, 1992

"Robert Launay has been observing the changing religious practices of the Dyula, a Muslim community in West Africa, for more than a decade. In Beyond the Stream , he examines the ways in which this religious and ethnic minority group living on the fringes of the Muslim world maintains its ties to the universal Islamic tradition while adapting everyday religious practices to the local context."Publisher's Description
