Sufi oral discourse in Senegal is overwhelmingly dominated by
stories about past and current shaykhs. An important corpus of oral
narratives about Sufi clerics is not only (re)told by Sufi speakers
throughout Senegal but also in the Senegalese diasporas in the
Americas, Asia, and Europe. These accounts are interwoven by
multiple speakers among followers of Senegalese Sufi brotherhoods
and passed down from generation to generation in Senegal and its
diasporas. The weaving together and spreading of such texts
themselves are part of the Sufi praxis. These oral texts, deeply
rooted in their context of production, which dictates their form
and functions, are still generally unknown to scholars of Islam in
Senegal and West Africa. By filling this gap, this book contributes
to the discourse of religions in general and Sufi Islam in
particular.
