Anne Bang focuses on the ways in which a particular Islamic
brotherhood, or 'tariqa', the tariqa Alawiyya, spread, maintained
and propagated their particular brand of the Islamic faith.
Originating in the South-Yemeni region of Hadramawt, the Alawi
tariqa mainly spread along the coast of the Indian Ocean. The
Alawis are here portrayed as one of many cultural mediators in the
multi-ethnic, multi-religious Indian Ocean world in the era of
European colonialism.
