Judicious juggling of insider and outsider perspectives. [Tayob] brings real knowledge and experience of South African Islam. . . . Anyone interested in religion in the South African context as well as those interested in Islam in different contexts should be interested in this book.'Rosalind I. J. Hackett, University of TennesseeUntil now, researchers on Islam in Africa have paid little attention to the continents southern tip. In the first Englishlanguage study of the subject, Abdulkader Tayob examines the Islamic institutions of South Africa, tracing their development over the last 200 years, from the first European colony in the 17th century through British colonialism and apartheid.Beyond the institutions, Tayob also examines the sermons of South Africas Imams as expressions of the countrys Islamic faith. He argues that the sermons function both as symbols of the Word of God and as venues for contextual interpretations of the Quran. The unusual character of South Africa, he maintains, has not only shaped the countrys Islamic institutions but has also helped to define its Muslim identity.For outsiders to either Islam or South Africa, Tayob interprets the symbols of Islam, the overly politicized dimensions of South African Islamic life, and the sacred spaces within each community. Writing as an 'insider' to the faith, he also reveals a rich history of Muslim institutions previously inaccessible to nonMoslems.Abdulkader I. Tayob is associate professor in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Cape Town, where he teaches Islamic studies and the history of religions. He is the author of Islamic Resurgence in South Africa: The Muslim Youth Movement.
