La Confrérie Sénégalaise des Mourides : Un essai sur l'Islam au Sénégal
For Cheikh Tidiane Sy, the strength of Islam in Black Africa lies in its ability to respect ethnic particularities. Taking the example of the Wolof people of Senegal, the author of “La confrérie sénégalaise des Mourides” (The Senegalese Mouride Brotherhood) shows how, despite the vitality of their traditions, they were unable to resist Islamization. The Wolof's response to Islam was rather to subject it to sociological transformations, reinterpreting it in accordance with the dynamics specific to their society. This is the essence of Mouridism, whose socio-cultural origins the author traces before analyzing it in the context of Senegal's political and economic situation. For Cheikh Tidiane Sy, while “Bambism” was a simple, original path that best expressed the aspirations and need for cultural identity of the Wolof, today's Mouridism is, to say the least, ambiguous.
