| Summary: | The articles in this issue are devoted to a variety of Muslim thinkers in 20th-century Africa. Despite a great deal of attention having been focused on reforming developments in the Islamic thought of the Middle East and South Africa, far fewer studies have concentrated on comparable contributions from African Muslims. (...) A lack of extensive studies of modern African Islamic thought might be linked to a common conception of Islamic reform in Africa as copied from "foreign" Middle Eastern and Indian subcontinental models and imported wholesale, with little regard for local conditions and traditions. The articles (in this issue) (...) seek to dispel such a view, and present a more nuanced picture of the reformist thought of some of the more notable figures of the region in the second half of the 20th century.
