Muslim Institutions of Higher Education in Postcolonial Africa

Muslim Institutions of Higher Education in Postcolonial Africa examines the colonial discriminatory practices against Muslim education through control and dismissal and discusses the education reform movement of the post-colonial experience.

"This volume comprises an anthology of essays that glances rigorously at theoretical case studies on Muslim higher education in Africa. It is a lucid and pioneering scholarly work that offers readers countless narratives on Muslim education in postcolonial Africa couched within an overarching socio-historical paradigm." - Yusef Waghid, Distinguished Professor of Philosophy of Education,

Stellenbosch University, South Africa
