"This book investigates American intervention in Islamic education in Uganda during the era of the war on terror. During this period, Muslim education moved from relative autonomy to direct state control and civil society scrutiny. During the colonial period, Muslims in Uganda were treated as lesser citizens within the Christian-dominated civil sphere. A local system of Islamic education developed with a degree of autonomy that reflected the limits of the colonial state in shaping the Muslim subject. In the subsequent postcolonial period, systems of patronage and clientalistic networks dominated, and Muslim leaders were co-opted by the state, but without much real interference in the day to day lives of Ugandan Muslims. However, during the war on terror, the US State Department sought to bring the mechanisms of Islamic truth production, especially the madrasa, under direct state control. This book argues that the separation of the Muslim domain has now come to an end as it is absorbed into civil society, unifying the state's domination of society in the postcolonial era. However, the book also analyses local Ugandan Muslim initiatives to modernise and contextualise their own education and religion and how these initiatives are shaped by and transcend the dominant power.
