| Summary: | Islam in South Africa has recently begun to receive a growing academic interest. Most of the work on South African Islam traces the growth of the religion and its adherents historically. But the historical method adopted has not sufficiently addressed the impact of political economy and structural crisis on the Muslim community and the country's Muslim movements. This paper locates the contemporary social and political expression of Islam in the context of the social and economic changes in post World War 2 South Africa. The emphasis here is on historical narrative. The central human actors are highlighted, the key social movements are studied, and the changing material and intellectual contexts in which they emerged and were shaped are focal issues in the paper. But theoretical questions and the interplay of local and international social forces are consistently addressed. |
