Reviews

'In general, then, Shari'a in Africa Today. Reactions and Responses is an important contribution to our understanding of the various ways in which Shari'a and Shari'a implementation get articulated in the African space of public discourse and political rivalry. It provides a rich source of new data and information that may help in formulating new questions and pointing to new areas of research on the subject'. Alamin Mazrui, Rutgers University, in Journal of Islamic Studies, vol 27, no 3, September 2016

Alamin Mazrui, Rutgers University, in Journal of Islamic Studies, vol 27, no 3, September 2016 Though the book Shari'a in Africa Today uses a case study approach to explore this new phenomenon of 'Shari'a debate' arising from Islam, the quality of the contributors, and their clear language make the book remarkable to read. The various contributors offer concrete examples drawn from their research areas that demonstrate the dynamics of their reflections on Shari'a, Kadhi's courts, women's education and Christian-Muslim relations. Scholars are offered a concise and first hand understanding of these contemporary events, which otherwise could have been misinterpreted or misunderstood. Martin A. Wullobayi, in Islamochristiana 45 (2019), pp. 430-432
