Abstract

Este artigo constitui um comentário sobre uma experiência etnográfica e as conseqüências da circulação da escritura – em árabe – no norte de Moçambique. Esta dupla abordagem, ao mesmo tempo autorreferencial e descritiva, permitirá dar conta de um universo sócio-cultural no qual o Islã ocupa um lugar especial nas práticas e representações de um amplo grupo de pessoas. Ao mesmo tempo, buscarei identificar as causas e conseqüências dos conflitos internos que vêm surgindo no seio da comunidade muçulmana de Moçambique que, por sua vez, dizem respeito às relações que as diferentes vertentes do Islã local teceram com a administração portuguesa durante o período colonial. Momade´s Books: Islam and “local knowledge” in northern Mozambique Abstract This article presents comments on an ethnographic experience and the consequences of the circulation of writing – in Arabic – in northern Mozambique. This dual approach, both in personal terms as well as descriptive, will make it possible to come to terms with a social-cultural universe in which Islam occupies a special place in the practices and representations of a broad group of people. At the same time, I will try to identify the causes and consequences of the internal conflicts which have been arising in the heart of the Moslem community in Mozambique which, in turn, concern the relations that the different factions of local Islam developed with the Portuguese administration during the colonial period.
