If you get really bored I'll send you a copy of my dissertation about the Rahad Borderlands Study with its section on Popular Islam in the Eastern Sudan in 1984-85.

 Hi Ed,
Thank you very much for your article and if you have a pdf of your study, I'll be happy to read it. I'm sure it won't be boring.

 1921 is a bit old and a huge amount of litterature has been published on this topic since the past 30 years, I'll be happy to send you some references too.

 This is where you should go deeper, it's more complicated than shiaa and sunni. They have similar traditions.
