Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. In this innovative new history, Erin Pettigrew utilizes invisible forces and entities - esoteric knowledge and spirits - to show how these forms of knowledge and unseen forces have shaped social structures, religious norms, and political power in the Saharan West. Situating this ethnographic history in what became la Mauritanie under French colonial rule and, later the Islamic Republic of Mauritania, Pettigrew traces the changing roles of Muslim spiritual mediators and their Islamic esoteric sciences - known locally as l'jab - over the long-term history of the region. By exploring the impact of the immaterial in the material world and demonstrating the importance of Islamic esoteric sciences in Saharan societies, she illuminates peoples' enduring reliance upon these sciences in their daily lives and argues for a new approach to historical research that takes the immaterial seriously. Exploring the changing role of Muslim spiritual mediators and Islamic esoteric sciences, Pettigrew outlines how invisible forces have impacted social, religious, and political structures in the Saharan West over centuries. Combining historical and anthropological methods, she offers a model for future research that takes the immaterial seriously. This item is printed on demand.
