Abstract Islam in Senegal is essentially brotherhood-based. The members of the Senegalese brotherhood of Mourides are known for their dynamism symbolized by their propensity for emigrating abroad and for the colossal size of their capital, Touba. Reinforcing the brotherhood identity and relying on merchant networks, the Mouride diaspora Ð disseminated in all corners of the world Ð has developed highly original mechanisms for financial circulation between host countries and Senegal. | ||
