This volume examines religiosity on university campuses in Sub-Saharan Africa. Focusing on both individuals and organized groups, the contributions open a window onto how religion becomes a factor, affects social interactions, is experienced and mobilized by various actors. It brings together case studies from various disciplinary backgrounds (anthropology, sociology, history, religious studies, literature) and theoretical orientations to illustrate the significance of religiosity in recent developments on university campuses. It pays a particular attention to religion-informed activism and contributes a fresh analysis of processes that are shaping both the experience of being student and the university campus as a moral space. Last but not least, it sheds light onto the ways in which the campus becomes a site of a reformulation of both religiosity and sociality.

L'islam a connu une progression fulgurante au Burkina Faso depuis les dernières décennies. Ce pays, autrefois qualifié de " fille aimée de l'Eglise ", compte aujourd'hui plus de 60 % de musulmans. Outre leur importance numérique, ceux-ci se sont montrés dynamiques depuis le tournant des années 1990, notamment avec un foisonnement associatif particulièrement important, comme en témoignent les 240 associations islamiques officielles à l'échelle nationale. Ouagadougou, la capitale, compte à elle seule plus de 600 mosquées. Afin de saisir les profondes mutations qu'a subies l'islam burkinabé, les relations internes souvent tendues entre ses tendances et les rapports complexes qu'a ...
