Shaykh Ahmadou Bamba: a peacemaker for our time
No full textI first heard about Ahmadou Bamba (ca. 1850-1927) thirty-two years ago through the 9-part BBC television series titled The Africans: A Triple Heritage presented by the doyen of Africa and Islam studies, the late Professor Ali Mazrui. The series, which was produced in 1986 was also published in the form of a book. And the name of Ahmadu Bamba has remained in my mind until today. I always wanted to learn more about him. Thanks to Michelle Kimball for this excellent book on Ahmadou Bamba, it is one of the few works on Bamba. I have learned a lot from it, so my hearty congratulations to the author. The good thing about the book is that its chapters are short, crisp and well written, not drowning the reader into a collapsing sleep
Detection of X-ray flares from AX J1714.1−3912, the unidentified source near RX J1713.7−3946
No full textContext. Molecular clouds are predicted to emit nonthermal X-rays when they are close to particle-accelerating supernova remnants (SNRs), and the hard X-ray source AX J1714.1−3912, near the SNR RX J1713.7−3946, has long been considered a candidate for diffuse nonthermal emission associated with cosmic rays diffusing from the remnant to a closeby molecular cloud.
Aim. We aim at ascertaining the nature of this source by analyzing two dedicated X-ray observations performed with Suzaku and Chandra.
Methods. We extracted images from the data in various energy bands, spectra, and light curves and studied the long-term evolution of the X-ray emission on the basis of the ~4.5 yr time separation between the two observations.
Results. We found that there is no diffuse emission associated with AX J1714.1−3912, which is instead the point-like source CXOU J171343.9−391205. We discovered rapid time variability (timescale ~ 103 s), together with a high intrinsic absorption and a hard nonthermal spectrum (power law with photon index Γ ~ 1.4). We also found that the X-ray flux of the source drops down by 1–2 orders of magnitude on a timescale of a few years.
Conclusions. Our results suggest a possible association between AX J1714.1−3912 and a previously unknown supergiant fast X-ray transient, although further follow-up observations are necessary to prove this association definitively.</jats:p
Ahmadu Bamba
No full textThe mid-nineteenth century was an era when the French colonial administration was consolidating its control over colonies in French West Africa. Having witnessed armed resistance movements from non-Muslim and Muslim leaders in the region, the French administration was suspicious of popular leaders who did not support the colonial agenda. Some were killed and others were arrested, exiled, or put under house arrests in order to destroy their movements. Amadu Bamba (1853-1927) was one of the Muslim leaders the French administration regarded as a threat to colonial rule. Because he did not share the position of local Muslim leaders who allied with the Wolof ruling nobility that he regarded as unjust, Bamba founded a new Sufi movement that sought to provide the masses an ethics-centered Islamic education. His conflict with the Muslim leaders and Wolof aristocratic rulers exacerbated his tension with French administrators who saw him as an imminent threat. As a result, Bamba was arrested and exiled in Gabon (1895-1902) and Mauritania (1903-1907), and was kept under house arrest in Ceyeen-Jolof (1907-1912) and Diourbel (1912-1927). The exile and arrests, which were designed to destroy his movement, did not work as his Murīdiyya order has become one of Senegal’s most culturally, economic, and politically powerful movements with committed members spread around the world. His legacy endures. He was a prolific writer and has left an impressive corpus of Arabic texts that continue to guide his followers around the world. His senior disciples who translated his ethos to the broader Wolof audiences using Wolofal or Wolof ʿAjamī (Wolof written with the Arabic script) have also left a rich corpus of primary sources that capture the history, traditions, and doctrine of the Murīdiyya from Murīd perspectives. Unfortunately, these sources remain largely inaccessible to academics.First author draf

A lenda do Rei Bamba
No full textA lenda do rei Bamba fez parte da tradição historiográfica peninsular da Idade Média. Foi primeiramente transmitida pelo Libro de las Generaciones (1260-1270), de origem navarra, e, a partir de um testemunho desta fonte, pela primeira redacção da Crónica Geral de Espanha de 1344, de onde passou à refundição da mesma crónica, datada de c. 1400. Entre as três versões existem algumas diferenças significativas, resultantes dos contextos específicos de produção e do processo de composição narrativa, assente no cruzamento de fontes histórico-literárias. A história lendária do lavrador Bamba, ungido rei dos Godos, por vontade divina, destacou da galeria das personagens históricas da monarquia visigótica uma figura a que já a historiografia antiga, desde o séc. VII (Julião de Toledo, Historia Wambae) ao séc. XIII (Lucas de Tuy, Chronicon Mundi; Rodrigo de Toledo, Historia de Rebus Hispaniae), dera especial relevo. A lenda retomou motivos bíblicos, bem como imagens e psicotemas da literatura peninsular, que foram transmitidos por autores árabes e moçárabes

La bamba: éxito mundial en 1945
No full textEl son de La bamba en el año 2019 suena en su forma de son en cuánto fandango o encuentro de jaraneros se realice en el Sotavento Veracruzano en otras partes de México y el mundo; suena en una buena porción de discos de son jarocho y es referencia para hablar de los sones jarochos en términos genéricos. También suena en su forma de canción en los portales de Veracruz, en presentaciones de ballet folklórico, en los restaurantes de Boca del Río y en conjuntos de son jarocho de diverso tipo y contexto. La linea que divide el son de La bamba como canción y como son es muy delgada. En este artículo se busca reflexionar sobre los procesos que dieron pie a que el son de La bamba fuera conocido más allá de las fronteras mexicanas y veracruzanas tomando como referencia la publicación de un artículo sobre la Bamba en la Revista Life en 1945
