Writing boards and blackboards are emblematic of two radically
different styles of education in Islam. The essays in this lively
volume address various aspects of the expanding and evolving range
of educational choices available to Muslims in sub-Saharan Africa.
Contributors from the United States, Europe, and Africa evaluate
classical Islamic education in Africa from colonial times to the
present, including changes in pedagogical methods-from sitting to
standing, from individual to collective learning, from recitation
to analysis. Also discussed are the differences between British,
French, Belgian, and Portuguese education in Africa and between
mission schools and Qur'anic schools; changes to the classical
Islamic curriculum; the changing intent of Islamic education; the
modernization of pedagogical styles and tools; hybrid forms of
religious and secular education; the inclusion of women in Qur'anic
schools; and the changing notion of what it means to be an educated
person in Africa. A new view of the role of Islamic education,
especially its politics and controversies in today's age of
terrorism, emerges from this broadly comparative volume.
