Résumé
Examination of the biographies of some ʿUlamā’ reveals their tendency to isolate themselves in networks that are very much closed to the original coastal Swahilis, and sometimes without taking into consideration the traditional clivages between Sunnites and Ibadites. Most scholars identify themselves as Arabs and keep the autochtons culturally at a distance. Analysis of the formation of a series of chains of ʿUlamā’ (from the beginning of the 19th century) suggests that the process of education of the ʿUlamā’ is accompanied with great mobility between the centres of religious learning in East Africa (Anjouan, Grand Comores, Lamu, Mombasa, Zanzibar) and in Arabia or Ḥaḍramawt. A great master can claim a long chain of ʿUlamā’ and a great diversity in education. Also kinship relationships play a very important role (Catalogue of the African Studies Centre, Leiden).
