- Title
Soufisme et utopie économico-religieuse : les entrepreneurs mourides sénégalais à l' « assaut » des métropoles occidentales.

- Abstract
This article provides us with an account of the genesis and the evolution of the Senegalese Mourides'religious utopia. This utopia created in colonial and rural context had been transformed and made operational in an urban and migratory context. It provides Mouride entrepreneurs with the self-confidence they need and rely on to undertake their symbolic conquest of Western countries. Drawing its principles from a mystical religious belief, the Mourides'economic utopia is however so efficient that it guarantees the economic success of Mouride entrepreneurs and the extraterritoriality of their religious capital in which social policies and urban projects are put in place with a limited intervention of Senegalese government.
