Abstract
Abstract There has been a steady increase of Islamic reform movements across Africa for decades. The topic, however, did not gain much scholarly attention, and it is only in recent decades that an increasing body of literature on Islamic reform has emerged. This chapter gives an overview over the aspects of and the scholarly work on Islamic reform in Africa. It approaches reform as a process explicitly implemented by agents of change with an intention and a strategy of bringing change, pointing to four aspects of Islamic reform in Africa that need to be considered: the role of African agency; that local attempts of reform are attached to translocal developments and broader currents; that recognizing the role of African agency and translocal interactions means duly considering processes of localization; and that there is a need to identify and differentiate between various reformist ideologies.
