You are invited to participate in the spring 2018 faculty book
discussion at the University of Pittsburgh. Please join in the
discussion about Beyond Timbuktu: an Intellectual History of
Muslim West Africa by Ousmane Kane.

Amir Syed, a Visiting Assistant Professor of the History of the
Islamic World at the University of Pittsburgh will facilitate the
book discussion.
The author, Ousmane Kane is the Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal
Professor in Contemporary Islamic Religion & Society at Harvard
University.

“Beyond Timbuktu is part of the resurgent interest in African
intellectual history. This book is an important contribution to the
field, as it ties trends in Muslim West African thought to the
development and role of Islamic education in precolonial,
colonial, and postcolonial Muslim West African societies.” Jennifer
