| Summary: | Introduction -- 1. The Muridiyya in the Cities of Senegal -- 2. Birth of the Murid Diaspora: Murid Immigrants in Côte d'Ivoire -- 3. Gabon: "Backyard of Tuubaa"-- 4. The Muridiyya in France -- 5. Making Murid Place in Paris -- 6. Unlikely Migration: Murids in New York City -- 7. Making Room for the Muridiyya in New York -- Conclusion -- Appendixes. "The construction of collective identity among the Muridiyya abroad is a communal but contested endeavor.

While some insist on the universal dimension of Ahmadu Bamba Mbakke's calling and emphasize dawa (proselytizing), others prioritize preserving Muridiyya identity abroad by consolidating the linkages with the leadership in Senegal. Diasporic reimaginings of the Muridiyya abroad, in turn, inspire cultural reconfigurations at home. Drawing from a wide array of oral and archival sources in multiple languages collected in five countries, The Muridiyya on the Move reconstructs over half a century of the order's history, focusing on mobility and cultural transformations in urban settings. In this groundbreaking work, Babou highlights the importance of the dahira (urban prayer circle) as he charts the continuities and ruptures between Muridiyya migrations. Throughout, he delineates the economic, socio-political, and other forces that powered these population movements, including colonial rule, the economic crises of the postcolonial era, and natural disasters"-- |
