Although Islam is not new to West Africa, new patterns of domesticeconomies, the promise of political liberalization, and the proliferation of newmedia have led to increased scrutiny of Islam in the public sphere. Dorothea E.Schulz shows how new media have created religious communities that are far morepublicly engaged than they were in the past. Muslims and New Media in West Africaexpands ideas about religious life in West Africa, women's roles in religion, religion and popular culture, the meaning of religious experience in a chargedenvironment, and how those who consume both religion and new media view their publicand private selves.
