Abstract: The written words of African Muslims have recently received renewed attention. This stems from a push to go beyond colonial archives as well as concerns with terrorism and Islamic radicalization. While Ajami—that is, African languages written in Arabic script—has been a part of this trend, Manding-language publications in the N’ko script have been overlooked. And yet, this literary industry is distinctly Islamic. Putting the writings of Sulemaana Kantè into conversation with historical authors and his contemporaries, Donaldson demonstrates that N’ko represents an iteration of Afro-Muslim vernacular thought, thereby illuminating Kantè and a body of N’ko and Ajami publications.

Sulemaana Kantè 的 N'ko 中伊斯兰教的作用、Ajami 著作和教育改革

摘要：非洲穆斯林的文字最近重新受到关注。这源于推动超越殖民档案以及对恐怖主义和伊斯兰激进化的担忧。虽然 Ajami（即用阿拉伯文字书写的非洲语言）已成为这一趋势的一部分，但使用 N'ko 文字的曼丁语出版物却被忽视了。然而，这个文学产业显然是伊斯兰的。唐纳森将 Sulemaana Kantè 的著作与历史作家和他的同时代人进行对话，证明 N'ko 代表了非洲穆斯林白话思想的迭代，从而启发了 Kantè 以及 N'ko 和 Ajami 的一系列出版物。
