- W2912153996 abstract "This paper contributes to the historical study of rural East African Islam. I focus on the little-known Mohamedan Movement that emerged among the Abawanga of Western Kenya in 1926. Leaders of the movement proclaimed that the Last Days were at hand, and that Gods deliverer would soon appear to exterminate all infidels, especially the Europeans. Challenging standard models of Islamization that imply a progressive linear development toward a posited orthodoxy, I argue that the Mohamdean Movement should be seen as part of a diffuse, persistent undercurrent of indigenous prophetic discourse that transcended ethnic and creedal boundaries. I make the case that there existed throughout parts of the East African interior a longstanding religious option characterized by belief in mobile or migratory spiritual forces; the use of consecrated water for healing (dawa); and the preaching safari, whereby adepts traveled the countryside disseminating their particular dispensation and/or medicine. This flexible, multi-pronged indigenous option shaped the way missionary religionsIslam and Christianity alikeinitially gained a foothold throughout the region." @default.
