In this article, I consider how migration practices around the Black Atlantic and discourses of repatriation mobilize Black African diasporic Muslim identities in present-day Senegal and in a mosque in South Carolina that is situated on land that was formerly a slave plantation. I use the term ‘reversion’ as a vocabulary of ‘diasporic becoming’ to signal how notions of Islamic piety are coupled with a politics of Black Atlantic Muslimness in the context of a West African Sufi tariqa – or ‘Black Atlantic Sufism’. Moreover, I consider how identity formation and African Muslim ancestry are impacted by discourses of geographic return and repatriation that are linked to spiritual tourism.

西非苏菲主义和黑人生活问题

在这篇文章中,我考虑了在当今塞内加尔和南卡罗来纳州一座位于前奴隶种植园土地上的清真寺中,黑大西洋周围的移民实践和遣返话语如何动员黑人非洲侨民穆斯林身份。我使用“回归”一词作为“散居成为”的词汇来表明伊斯兰虔诚的概念如何在西非苏菲派 tariqa 或“黑色大西洋苏菲主义”的背景下与黑色大西洋穆斯林的政治相结合。此外,我还考虑了身份形成和非洲穆斯林血统如何受到与精神旅游相关的地理回归和遣返话语的影响。
