Matriarchal Islam : leadership of Muslim women in Africa

---

Matriarchal Islam : leadership of Muslim women in Africa the book delves into the area of matrilineal Islam in West and South Africa. It explores how matrilineal practice co-exist and adapt within the broader Islamic framework, highlighting two models in Northern Mozambique and North Ghana. How ISlamic norms and matrilineal customs interacted under Portuguese colonial rule, especially within family dynamics, personal status, property rights, and inheritance. Portugals distinct approach to Islamic law and local customs is compared with British, French, and Dutch approaches. With colonialism enforcing customary practices on the native populace, matrilineal systems thrived, particularly in rural areas, enabling women to assume leaderhip roles and manage assets. The book explores the interaction between cultural matriliny and Islamic patriliny in Ghana among Asante and Fantse Muslims. Noting Islams patrilineal descent system contrasted with the Akans matrilineal heritage, they reveal how both systems are successfully integrated. This is achieved via flexibilities in both Islamic and Akan cultural norms enabling tehse communities to balance their religioethnic identities. Happy reading!
