SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
In what ways do Muslim followers construe their relationships with religious leaders? Forms of leadership in Islam have been at the forefront of burgeoning attention. Scholarship on Islam, however, tends to focus on religious leaders. This is particularly true in the West African context, where marabouts (holy persons) have been the subject of considerable scholarly inquiry while their followers have tended to be continually taken for granted. This dissertation elucidates interactions between marabouts and followers, specifically in terms of social relations of knowledge. Nigeriens recurrently describe marabouts as 'Those who know the Qur'an.' Their description is telling because it underscores how marabouts, by possessing knowledge that is neither quotidian nor widely distributed, are in a unique (and uniquely qualified) position to makes claims to and express their knowledge.
