A Brave New Look at the History of Islam in Africa

A Customeron Mar 31, 2002

This book gives an entirely new perspective on the history of the spread of Islam in Africa. It argues that while Christianity has had a great deal written about its negative impact on African culture and religions, and its role in the slave trade, Islam on the hand has been perceived as a natural fit for the Africans and one which spread without resort to violence, slavery and other sins that Christians were guilty of. Azumah argues credibly that this perception is biased and uncritical. And that the evidence would suggest otherwise. An excellent read for those interested in the history of religion in Africa.

I agree with the three 5-star reviews already given here. This is a top-notch work by someone with a vast knowledge of the subject. It would be, however, a big undertaking for many people to read. The toponyms, personal and tribal names number in the hundreds. It would have been useful to have included a map for locations and the trans-Saharan slave trade routes. The work is carefully nuanced, and its being a compromise between a dissertation and a book for the larger public has resulted in a basically good but wordy writing style. I encourage people to plow on through it despite that. The knowledge and perspective are a valuable contribution to anybody's viewpoint. Azumah wrote this with the intention of contributing to the inter-religious dialogue among African Christians, Muslims, and traditional worshippers. His addressing the issues of this in the 5th chapter does not make me optimistic about the success of such discussions. Very rightly he does not attempt to exonerate the Western Christian oppression and enslavement of Africans. Rather he points out that Muslims of the past brought upon themselves an enormous amount of guilt due to their treatment of Africans. Justifications for these crimes were based on Islamic religious arguments, including the jihad ideology. For an inter-religious dialogue to be fruitful today, Muslims must acknowledge these facts and look at their heritage critically, painful as that may be. One aspect which gave me some comfort was that Europeans, particularly the French and English, contributed to halting the jihadists and slave traders. European imperialism was not all bad. The whole work is good, but if reading its entirety is too tedious, chapters 2-4 are the core for those who are most interested in the history of Islam in Africa.

This is a well written, deeply researched and balanced presentation of the less than benign role of Islam in Africa and the devastating Muslim slave trade, which overwhelms the Alantic slave trade in duration, extent and brutality. It carefully distinguishes the context, motivations, and impact of pre-Islamic slavery in Africa from the more economically, politically and religiously motivated and sanctioned fourteen centuries of Muslim slavery in Africa. It reviews centuries of Arabic, Persian, and Turkish works back to even medieval times which demonize blacks as '..lazy, stupid, evil-smelling and lecherous slaves..', or 'untruthful, vicious, sexually unbridled, ugly and distorted..', or being 'nothing more or less than the symbol of wickedness and barbarism..', or which claim that 'the Negro does not differ from an animal in anything except his hands have been lifted from the earth', and thus justifiably questions if `the extent to which racial prejudice in Western Europe against blacks could have Muslim influences, since the former owes much of its medieval literature and philosophical tradition to Muslims'. Especially sobering is the observation that by '..placing blacks under a mythological curse, stereotyping and stigmatizing them on account of the content of their belief and color of their skin, Muslims of all races waged war against and raided Africans, killing millions and reducing others to slaver of the last 14 centuries.' It is noted that while both the non-Muslim and Muslim worlds must understand these ugly facts, Muslims in particular must also accept the Muslim share of responsibility for the consequent centuries of untold pain and suffering heaped on Africans by the introduction of a foreign religion and in the name of the God of that religion, if there is to be constructive dialogue between the two. This is powerful read for anyone interested in more than an apologia for Islam in Africa.

John Alembillah Azumah has produced another King Leopold's Ghost. This is criminally reprehensible.

By D. Njokuon Mar 06, 2010

To think that this has been going on for more than the last fourteen hundred years is staggering. To merely think of only the number of little African boys that have been killed and mutilated in the name of these outrageously organised criminals, masquerading under the guise of a religion, stuns credibility. A 'religion' that encourages its adherents to exterminate others that do not share its beliefs. Millions of innocent little African boys must have lost their lives to these hideous practices. And the little African girls that have been haremised by this 'religion'. This is certainly the equivalent of 'King Leopold's Ghost'. 'A quest for inter-religious dialogue?' Thorough Nonsense!!! More a case for world expose`, and most certainly one for bringing these criminals before an international forum for justice. This is unmitigated criminality. The contents of this book must be given all the publicity it merits. The highest credit to John Alembillah Azumah for exposing these activities to the world's attention in writing this book.

Lots of books are being written to acquaint westerners with the realities of Islam. That will put us in a better position to respond and to understand. In particular there are many myths regarding whether Islam is 'for' black people. The truth is that Islam perhaps more than the western cultures had a devastating effect on Africa and still does today. Before you embrace Islam as a solution to the problems of racism and slavery, understand how Islam contributed to the enslavement of Africans.

An excellent window into an essential part of history that I was completely unaware of. The author labored through extensive and what must have been exhausing research and documents to support his findings. Anyone who seeks to know more about the development of Arab-related slavery in Africa will find this a must-read.

The Legacy Of Arab-Islam In Africa Before posting my thoughts, I read a number of reviews. I questioned if some of the reviewers would attempt to dismiss the evidence found in this treatise. I waited for the politically correct adherents to find evidence for Arabic barbarism, all in the name of, 'Islam.' I also looked for those who would deflect, and point an accusing finger elsewhere. The evidence found in this ground-breaking work is just that, 'Ground Breaking!' I call it ground-breaking because, (1) The topic is quite salient for today's climate, (2) Heretofore, this type of information has never reached the public at large. I wrote my Doctoral Dissertation on Africa and the diaspora; and its consequences on an African people. These people were ripped from their homeland, and they lost everything! Their Freedom, Their Culture, Their Souls! My Dissertation took into account only a small part of the Islamic role in the African trade. My focus was on proving that the introduction of an Afrocentric Clinical approach to treating Black Substance Abusers, would be far more advantageous than a European model. I took note of how Arabs, slowly, took Egypt from its original, 'Black people.' The writer of this book presents in irrefutable details the lies and cover ups that have come from not only, Europeans who brought slaves to America, but the Arabs, the original, 'Black Slave Owners.' Islam has a lot to answer for! Instead of isolating the 'Christians,' and blaming them for all that troubles Africa today, we need to pivot 'Now,' and place a glaring spotlight on, 'Islam.' This is not a time to talk about getting along, that can come late, if possible. Now what is needed is for the Arab people to confess to their role in the dehumanizing and brutish treatment of Black people. Parenthetically, I used to think folk like Kareem Abdul Jabbar and Muhammad Ali were smart. In retrospect, they only traded one slave name for another. Dr. Forest Lewis

A great scholar once said 'religion is the deification of a culture'..through Arab Muslim's own words, this book really shows that's what Arab Muslims believe. They even consider their language Arabic to be some type of divine language.

Interesting but not necessarily an 'easy read'. The title gives a good indication of the author's writing style throughout the book. Very detailed history of Islam and its infiltration into Africa, its relationship to Christianity's spread and to the indigenous peoples.

Insightful and balanced and compelling! Greatly surpasses my expectations with its breadth, comparative analyses and scholarly research on African Islam.

By Clemente Abrokwaaon Jun 17, 2015

A most wonderful research! This part of the Slave Trade and its effects on Africa and its peoples has been covered up and not talked about at all. It's an eye-opener and I would say that African American Muslims should be bold to talk about this part of the Slave Trade.

Highly recommend for every black person must read.

Long and verbose like any academic writings tend to be

By Amazonianon Mar 27, 2017

Long and verbose like any academic writings tend to be. He has trouble getting to the point. However, the Author is suburb in breaking down the hypocricy of the left wing and the pseudo-apologists for the islamic following.

By Robert Rayon Aug 17, 2017

Great work, revealing the true nature and origins of Islam. It took a bit to adjust to the author's style, for these American eyes. Nevertheless, the content is definitely worth the read.

Fast delivery keep up the great work

Excellent book!

Very good book. It reflects the opinion of the author which is quite different than the classical view on slave-trade.
