Project
Unwilling Umma: Histories of Exile and Islam Across the Indian Ocean
This project is an exploration of the life and memories associated with three key saints of the local Capetonian scene, and most notably Tuan Guru, set against a larger story of forced labour and exile in the Indian Ocean from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries.
