| dc.description | West Africa in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries witnessed the eruption of several major "holy wars" across the wide expanse of its savannah, from the Senegal River to Lake Chad. Each holy war, or jihad, represented the emerging interests of a militant, rural Islamic community, and resulted in both substantial conversion of the peasantry and widespread social change. The leaders of the holy wars were renowned clerics who were committed to the comprehensive Islamization of their respective societies; that is, they endeavored to bring government and social order into conformity with Islamic law (sharfa). | - |
