Abstract
Este artículo ofrece una introducción a
la historia del sufismo en África Occidental.
A la vez, se intentará desmitificar el
paradigma historiográfico del Islam Noire
y la supuesta heterodoxia africana frente a
una pretendida ortodoxia. Nuestra tesis, es
que el sufismo en África es fundamental
para entender su historia y su filosofía.
Para llevar a cabo esta labor se analizan
distintos personajes, doctrinas y conceptos,
especialmente de los últimos dos siglos.
This paper offers an introduction to the history of West African Sufism. Also, we try to demystify both the historiographical paradigm of Islam Noire and the apparent African heterodoxy opposed to a sought orthodoxy. The paper argues that Sufism in Africa is fundamental to understanding its History and Philosophy. For this reason, the paper analyzes significant characters, doctrines, and concepts in the last two centuries.
