Ramadan Halaqa: Moving Forward
Muslim Space invites you to participate in a 3-part Ramadan halaqa titled Revolutionary Ramadan:Impact of Colonialism on Islam and Muslim Societies in West Africa. Today, people in present-day West Africa feel they’ve lost something. In this talk, we aim to try to go back to the archives and reconstruct this history. People have a sense of loss, and they need an empirical accounting of what the loss is.
The event will be interactive and following the presentation there will be a Q&A session.
Next session - Sunday, March 23rd at 2:00pm CST
