Abstract
En este artículo investigamos las relaciones entre la religión y la construcción de la identidad nacional. Para ello, combinamos diversas aportaciones de la antropología, la sociología y la historia. Se trata de una cuestión de una gran complejidad. En especial, supone adaptar un elemento tradicional, como lo es la religión, a los requerimientos de un proceso de modernización, caracterizado por el desarrollo de una mayor secularización e individuación. Nos centramos en el caso particular de Senegal, reinterpretando distintas aportaciones bibliográficas clásicas desde nuestro propio enfoque teórico y completándolo con materiales extraídos de nuestro propio trabajo de campo. En este país parece haberse dado una articulación bastante exitosa entre Islam y modernización, que lo vuelve muy interesante desde el punto de vista de las ciencias sociales. Exploramos los factores que parecen haber favorecido esta articulación, especialmente las características específicas del tipo de Islam predominante en el país, que son el resultado de un proceso histórico un tanto particular.
