Zusammenfassung

Die zunehmend öffentliche Rolle, die der Islam in gesellschaftspolitischen Auseinandersetzungen in vielen muslimischen Gesellschaften Afrikas übernimmt, und die starke Beteiligung von Frauen an dieser Entwicklung stellt die ethnologische Genderforschung vor neue Herausforderungen. Seit den bahnbrechenden politischen Veränderungen der späten 1980er Jahre, die in vielen Ländern in Afrika südlich der Sahara1 zu einem (wenn auch oft nur nominellen) Mehrparteiensystem und zur Gewährung bürgerlicher Rechte geführt hat, werden öffentliche Räume mit Zeichen und Ausdrucksformen einer islamischen Frömmigkeit sowie von einer Infrastruktur muslimischer Missionierungsaktivitäten (Arabisch da’wa), in Form von Moscheen und reformierten islamischen Schulen schier überflutet. Muslimische Aktivisten, Intellektuelle und religiöse Würdenträger bringen ihre Forderungen nach persönlicher und gesellschaftlicher moralischer Erneuerung öffentlich zum Ausdruck, indem sie beispielsweise in Debatten fordern, dass der Islam zur ethischen Grundlage der politischen Gemeinschaft erhoben werden solle. Diese Forderungen sowie ihre Aktivitäten und Ausdrucksformen sind von neueren transnationalen und regionalen Reformbestrebungen inspiriert, die seit den 1970er Jahren an Schlagkraft gewannen, und die zumeist eine Verankerung in den arabischsprachigen Zentren der muslimischen Welt für sich in Anspruch nehmen.
