Extractions: POPULAR AND FORMAL ISLAM, AND SUPRA-LOCAL RELATIONS The highlands of northwestern Tunisia, 1800-1970 Wim van Binsbergen homepage 1. Introduction In recent years anthropologists have paid considerable attention to North African popular religion and to local saints as one of its main aspects. North African religious studies are in a transitory state in that anthropologists only recently have come to explore a field of enquiry which hitherto had been mainly worked by historians and Arabists. Coupled to the fact that, with such pioneers as Westermarck , Montagne, Evans-Pritchard, Peters and Bergue, the anthropology of North Africa made a comparatively late start in general (as compared with e.g. sub-Saharan Africa, or Oceania), this goes some way to explain why anthropological studies of North African region have tried to do rather too much. Instead of presenting a thorough descriptive analysis of specifically religious institutions, they tend to formulate highly abstract interpretative models which attempt to bring to bear an only cursorily-described religious system upon such topics as the variability and versatility of Islam , theories of segmentation

Extractions: Tunis - History Roman Baths Over 3000 years witnessed the passage of Phoenicians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Turks, Spanish and French. They came as fugitive s or adventurers, to conquer or to claim, warriors and missionaries, traders and farmers each leaving a part of their story in stone or mosaics, on hills of carthage and the threshold of the Sahara. During the Arab conquest of Ifriqiyya in the 7th century, Tunis was re-born on the ancient site of Tunes. The destruction of Carthage was a deciding factor in its renewal. It wasn't long before Tunis was equipped with port facilities. For the brief period during the reign of the Aghlabids, between 894 and 905, Tunis was the capital of Ifriqiyya. The Fatimid Dynasty and the Zirid Dynasty which followed it ruled over Tunis from 909 until 1057; Mahdia and Kairouan were their respective capitals. In 1160 the Almohaves (Berber sovereigns inspired by Shi'ism) made Tunis their capital city. Between 1228 and 1574, Tunis was the capital city of the Hafsids, a Maghrebian dynasty which emerged from the Almohaves. This period was the peak of the history of Tunis. When it was taken over by the Ottomans in 1574, Tunis lost its status as capital. It went through a period of commercial prosperity thanks to its merchant communities and piracy (when the latter was enjoying its golden age). In the 17th and 18th centuries, under the Husseinids, it experienced intense architectural activity and attained the appearance that it conserves to this day.
