Abstract

between tariqas. Arabists will be disappointed by the lack of Arabic transliteration. Errors and typos seem to emerge whenever the discussion shifts to Berber speakers, whom Waugh identifies as the founding Moroccan Sufis. Yet the book's strengths make it of considerable interest to graduate students and scholars of Islamic and regional studies, comparative religion, and ethnomusicology. With an instructor's guidance, the book might be taught to advanced undergraduates as well.
