Just finished reading through this journal produced by the Department of Theology and Religious Studies, Chancellor College, University of Malawi. In this issue I found of special note the following articles:
- “It Takes an Initiation to Make a Yawo Chief” by Dr. Ian Dicks (pgs 3-11)
- “Ummah in Zomba: Transnational Influences on Reformist Muslims in Malawi” by Willemijn van Kohl (pgs 28-40) [offsite link here]
Also of note I see reference to Richard Gracious Gadama’s work from Mzuzu University (2009) “The Role of Yao Muslim Women in HIV/AIDS Prevention and Care: Experiences of Muslim Women in Zomba-Malosa Area.”
Finally, this article could be of interest for those looking at matters of Yawo and Islam and the Christian/Muslim dialogue in Malawi: “Peaceful Co-existence and Religious Tolerance among Christians and Muslims in Malawi: an Evaluation of the Interfaith Project in Mangochi District” by Thomas Bizeck of the Catholic University of Malawi.
