Synopsis
Everyday Faith in Sufi Senegal explores the historical, religious, cultural and economic contexts of Islam in Senegal through the narrative first-hand accounts of people's everyday lives. Drawing on rich ethnographic fieldwork conducted by the author over a period of seven years, the result is a critical look at Senegal's religious diversity within Islamic beliefs and practices. Containing interviews from men and women in both rural and urban locations, this book is an important contribution to the literature on Islamic practices, providing a much-needed perspective from ordinary practitioners of the faith. It is essential reading for scholars of the anthropology of religion, Islamic studies, mysticism, African studies, and development studies.

Newspapers & Magazines
"In around 140 highly readable pages, the book's ten chapters pack a wealth of ethnographic material, historical and cultural context, and conceptual discussion [....] The book's treatment of lived spirituality provides a long-overdue counterbalance to the heavily political-economic emphasis in the anthropological literature on Islam. Additionally, its approachability and relevance make it an ideal text for undergraduate courses on the anthropology of religion"
