Zustand: as new. New Haven :Yale University Press, 2011. Paperback. 319 pp. Includes bibliographical references (p. 261-308) and index. - The colonial era in Africa, spanning less than a century, ushered in a more rapid expansion of Islam than at any time during the previous thousand years. In this groundbreaking historical investigation, Brian J. Peterson considers for the first time how and why rural peoples in West Africa became Muslim under French colonialism. Peterson rejects conventional interpretations that emphasize the roles of states, jihads, and elites in converting people, arguing instead that the expansion of Islam owed its success to the mobility of thousands of rural people who gradually, and usually peacefully, adopted the new religion on their own.
