Decolonising the Hajj: The Pilgrimage from Nigeria to Mecca Under Empire and Ind

Description: Decolonising the Hajj by Matthew Heaton Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book recounts the effects of British colonial rule and decolonization on the transformation of the pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj) from Nigeria over the course of the twentieth century. In so doing, it incorporates Nigeria into broader historical understanding of one of the most important transnational processes in the world. Publisher Description Muslims from the region that is now Nigeria have been undertaking the Hajj for hundreds of years. But the process of completing the pilgrimage changed dramatically in the twentieth century as state governments became heavily involved in its organisation and management. Under British colonial rule, a minimalist approach to pilgrimage control facilitated the journeys of many thousands of mostly overland pilgrims. Decolonisation produced new political contexts, with nationalist politicians taking a more proactive approach to pilgrimage management for both domestic and international reasons. The Hajj, which had previously been a life-altering journey undertaken slowly and incrementally over years, became a shorter, safer, trip characterised by round trip plane rides. In examining the transformation of the Nigerian Hajj, this book demonstrates how the Hajj became ever more intertwined with Nigerian politics and governance as the country moved from empire to independence.
