Maryse Conde's "Segu": The Spread Of Islam
Number of pages:
4
ABSTRACT:
4 pages in length. Examining the ways in which Islam spread in Conde's "Segu" as compared to Robinson's "Paths of Accommodation," it is important to pay particular attention to such aspects as contesting, gaining, maintaining, promoting, etc., in order to determine just how drastically Islam impacted religious, cultural, social, political and economic elements for the people of Bamba. Indeed, the transition presented significant challenges to a people whose existence was wholly different prior to Islamic immersion, a point the student will want to note as being one of the most difficult aspects Islam presented to the people of Bamba, inasmuch as their entire way of life was permanently altered when the industrialization of manufactured goods ultimately found their way into otherwise traditional households. No additional sources cited.
