American Murids is a major new ethnography of an African Sufi Muslim immigrant community in the United States. It is particularly timely given the current contentious discourse concerning Muslims and immigration. By listening to what Murids say about themselves, author Jonathan Bornman gives us the first ever look at how the spiritual and ethical values of Murids in the diaspora influence the ways they interact with other communities in New York City.
No other religious group in West Africa has generated more scholarship than the Muridiyya of Senegal. Much of this literature has focused on history, social and political science, economics, migration, and transnationality. This book offers a fresh look by using the lens of nonviolence, revealing the Murid commitment to shared peace. The discovery of a transnational Murid youth movement in New York City, balancing tradition and new expressions of faith, points towards the emergence of an American Muridiyya.
Jonathan Bornman (MA Intercultural Studies, Fuller Theological Seminary; PhD, Oxford Centre for Mission Studies, Middlesex University) lived with his family in Senegal (1999- 2009), where he learned Wolof language and culture. He is a consultant on Christian-Muslim relations. He is also a filmmaker, and founded Dove Tale Productions in 2021.
