A Saint in the City: Sufi Arts of Urban Senegal Paperback – February 1, 2003
A Saint in the City brings together a range of artists--regardless of background, training, rootedness in the "traditional" medium, or style--who share a belief in the Mouride Way. The book boldly transgresses the boundaries normally enforced between the local and the global, fine art and popular art, the gallery and the street, the historical and the contemporary.

- Reviewed in the United States on September 5, 2008One of the best complied books on The sufi Saint, Amadou Bamaba and all of the art that comes from his greatness. Beautifully put together and a must have for anyone who loves african art, african sufism, or african mysticism. Definently one to collect.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2015Great book. But there were huge stickers on the front cover that are not removable without damaging it. Not cool that there was No indication that that would be the case in description when I ordered.
