Cet ouvrage collectif se veut une introduction à l'islam dans le monde négro-africain. De quelle manière le code musulman affecte-t-il la vie des femmes sur le continent ? Quand l'islam s'est-il étendu en Ouganda ? Pourquoi son déploiement à Madagascar est-il une légende difficilement vérifiable ? Pourquoi certains parlent d'un islam en Afrique alors que d'autres affirment qu'il existe un islam noir ?
