A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Spread of Islam in West Africa

The spread of Islam in West Africa centres on how the religion moved into the region, the agents that carried it, and the conditions that helped it take root in different societies. For exam purposes, you must master the roles of trade, scholars, rulers, migration, and reform movements, and also understand that Islam spread mainly through gradual social contact rather than by a single method.
