The history of Arabic writing spans a period of 800 years in sub-Saharan Africa. Hundreds of thousands of manuscripts in Arabic or Ajami (African languages written with the Arabic script) are preserved in public libraries and private collections in sub-Saharan Africa. This 'Islamic Library' includes historical, devotional, pedagogical,  polemical and political writings, most of which have not yet been adequately studied. This book, "Non-Europhone Intellectuals", studies the research carried out on the Islamic library and shows that Muslim  intellectuals, in West Africa in particular, have produced huge literature in Arabic and Ajami. It is impossible to reconstitute this library completely. As the texts have existed for centuries and are
mostly in the form of unpublished manuscripts, only some of them have been transmitted to us while others have perished because of poor conservation. Efforts toward collecting them continues and the documents
collected thus far attest to an intense intellectual life and important debates on society that have been completely ignored by the overwhelming majority of Europhone intellectuals. 

During European colonial rule and after the independence of African nations, Islamic
education experienced some neglect, but the Islamic scholarly tradition did not decline. On the contrary, it has prospered with the
proliferation of modern Islamic schools and the rise of dozens of Islamic institutions of higher learning. In recent years, the field of Islamic studies in West Africa has continued to attract the attention of erudite scholars, notably in anthropology and history, who are investing in learning the languages and working on this Islamic archive.
As more analytical works are done on this archive, there will be continued modification in terms of the debate on knowledge production in
West Africa.
