Full textThis study deals with Islam in urban areas in Gabon and aims at showing that Islam, as a primarily urban phenomenon, is now an integral part of the social, religious, economic and political environment of Gabon. Islam is considered a minority religion on a social level, and is practiced by a population consisting primarily of immigrants. However, due to conversions Islam currently occupies the second place among the religions of the Book in Gabon. The unique dynamics of islam in Gabon allow us to understand Gabonese social reality not only through the study of models and patterns, which preside over it in part, but also through the lens of religious practices, which demonstrate that that society is constantly in the process of renewing itself. In this way, we can examine how Islam structures historical situations and social organizations, as well as the existing gaps between "official" aspects of society and its social practices. Islam in Gabon is a minority religion that accomplished its social development and constructed its uniqueness on the local level, assisted by members of "political society" themselves converted to the faith of Mohammed, the Mamadous. These individuals consider Islam as one of their managing domains capable of reinforcing the power of the hegemonic block. In this way, the conversion to islam of President El Hadj Omar Bongo Ondimba and his entourage, combined with his political longevity, has established an imaginary in the Gabonese society, that is to say, a place for the construction of its social, economic and political history, both before and after the independence of the country. Thus, for the "political society", Islam in Gabon is one of the central elements of political and economic power, and it is constitutive of the dialectic of accumulation of "powers" of the reign of President Omar Bongo Ondimba. By bringing Gabonese population into new contingencies – notably religious - African modernity has tended to substitute lineages : that of the clan by that of the national community, that of the Church by that of the Mosque. This is "deparentelisation" which means an emphasis on social and political relations. Thus, through the conversion of deparentelized persons, the Mamadou and the Makaya, islam reconfigures and reconstructs the positions of the social and political relations in Gabonese society. Therefore, Islam in Gabon is part of the power structure called "phantom power" that operates on the basis of both visibility and invisibility

Full textObserving the journey of French men and women who converted to Islam, this thesis delves into identity redefinitions on personal and family levels, resulting from the conversion. From experiences of non-practising believers to those of orthodox believers, the conversion is grasped at the intersection of individual itineraries and contemporary religious evolutions. In an era of secularisation, the conversion to Islam, symptomatic of individualisation but also of transgression, remains frequently embedded in an Islamic transnational revival. The conversion symbolizes the crossing of a border between ethnic groups constituted as such and arouses strong reactions within the converter's close circle. More precisely, this research questions the re-organization of family relationships in a situation of mixed marriage. It also looks into the re-configuration of gender relationships and the constitution of new educational models. The parenthood one can observe in these families reveals a strong maternal investment and, more generally, accounts for the creation of new marital and educational norms related to a "neo-communitarian" Islam

Full textBecoming a Muslim in France means joining a group of believers usually designated by the term “community” which struggles to describe its often fragmentary and diverse nature. The convert himself has to confront to these contradictions: he is exposed to the representations of a community supposedly homogeneous and to the preconceptions built through ‘‘common sense”, but also with the objective and plural reality unveiled. Like any kind of converts, those who join Islam are subject to a conflict of loyalty and legitimacy. The recent events, especially those related to the rise in recent years of the militarized jihadism represented by Daesh, which effects have reached as far as France, have constantly been under public and mediatic attention and place the convert in a position of uneasiness (Roy, 2016). The conversion to Islam is thus an object of study and debate often passionate and crossed by contradictions. Our research argues an approach of religious conversion in terms of processes, analyzing the life trajectories of converts, defining a "before" and an "after" in order to make visible the complex articulation between the converts and their environment, between the private and the public sphere. We describe a quest that leads to conversion, trying to grasp the initiation to Islam by the convert, but also the initiation to the religious and social practices that turn their choice into facts. On another hand, we analyze how a convert ends up belonging to the community through different modes of socialization, in connection with the chosen religious group. Finally, we study the rhetoric of the converts which aims at strengthening the legitimacy of the act of conversion

Full textThis research is about race and religion. While scholars typically understand them separately, I propose instead to explore occurrences in which they are conflated. Specifically, I track instances of racial reasoning that occur in relation to the religion of Islam in Western societies, by focusing on the specific experiences of Muslim converts. By crossing religious boundaries, converts shed light on the nature and content of such boundaries, and enable us to decide whether they are simply religious or also embody racial difference. The case of white converts is particularly interesting: because their conversion implies transitioning from one social status (majority) to another (minority), they offer a near-experimental case to investigate how racial categorization operates. Methodologically, I combine the meticulousness of qualitative methods with the bird’s eye view of comparatism. Using in-depth interviewing with 82 converts in France and the United States; ethnographic observations in convert associations in Paris and Chicago; and content analysis of media and historical documents, I compare the past and present experiences of French and American converts to answer the following: how and when is conversion to Islam interpreted in terms of changing one’s racial status rather than a mere change in religious orientation? In addition to shedding light on the complex interplay between race and religion, this research contributes to transatlantic comparative scholarship, by highlighting differences across the French and American contexts in the conversion process, the encounter with race and the strategies used by converts to reclaim control over their definition of self

Full textThis study deals with the relationship of the French to their religions, studied through the religious conversions within monotheisms. A particular rapport to religion is hughlighted and raises the paradox of an increase of conversions in a time when we hear the "end of God". This conflictual relation alternates between tolerance and suspicion and this rapport is constitutive of the relationship between politics and religions. One finds this in the phase of laicization (1789-1905) and since the vote of the law of separation (1905) wich inaugurates a "laic configuration". Therefore, religious conversion is understood as interaction between new converts, the institution of reception wich frames their transformations, and the close-relations to whom they publicize choices and with whom they make the effort to sustain a bond. Conversions enable us to read a "laicity in act" wich tests itself in the specific relation to religion, i. E. , an interactive device and a common ideal

Full textThe present work analyses the contemporary diffusion and development of Sufism in Italy, and more generally in the West. It is structured into three sections. The first section introduces, in the first chapter, a historical and sociological overview of Islam in Italy, focusing on the islamic, and above all, on the major catholic past, both inherited by the Italians who are the more and more numerous, and protagonists, in the Sufi brotherhoods in the West. The XXth century is the subject of the second chapter, which analyses the major ways in which Sufism has spread in Europe and in the United States. The third chapter describes the Sufi brotherhoods in Italy. In the second section of this thesis, conversions to Sufi Islam are analyzed from a historical (chapter 4) and from an anthropological point of view (chapter 5). The attraction of Islam and of its spirituality, as well as the ideological opposition to the Western culture, are examined among the main reasons behind the individual choice of changing the religious faith. The third and last sextion of this theseis is devoted to the relation between Islam and Sufism, focusing on the becoming of Sufism and the Islamic "tarîqa" as the Sufi "traditional" form of organization (chapter 6 abd 7). In the last chapter, some conclusions are drawn from the analyses of the process of "westernization" of Sufism and of the evolution of believing, that are also peculiar to the Italian context

Full textDid conversion to Islam of low Muslim castes in India lead, as commonly believed, to a radical change in the social structure? The first part (pp. 1-199) presents the material used to answer this question. The results of 12 years long (1963-1975) field enquiry on Muslim glass-workers settled in Nepal hills are described and complemented by a large documentation in Nepali, Urdu and English on north Indian artisan castes. This description in a historical perspective (XVIIIth-XXth centuries) covers the domains of caste hierarchy in the village context (ch. 1), kinship structure (ch. 2), legal (ch. 3) and religious (ch. 4) constraints. The second part (pp. 201-362) is a theoretical interpretation of this material. A theoretical model (ch. 5) is built by questioning the current views which oppose the Muslim social order, conceived as egalitarian, to the hierarchical Hindu order. After a detailed analysis of the alterations caused by conversion to Islam in the fields of kinship (section I: ch. 6-7) and caste (section II, ch. 8-9), the author reaches the conclusion that conversion did not radically change the social structure: Hindu and Muslim social orders are not radically different
