Questions d’islam en Afrique de l’Ouest. Les enjeux et défis de la recherche avec les archives physiques et numériques

Konferenz von Frédérick Madore

This conference explores the methodological challenges of studying Islam in West Africa in the face of fragmented postcolonial archives. I will analyse the challenges and opportunities of using a corpus of press articles and Islamic publications to document the history of Muslim communities since independence, while demonstrating the potential contribution of native digital sources.
