Investigates Muslim politics and society in 19th-century West Africa. This book presents a study that revises late-19th-century colonialist assumptions about a West African Muslim social movement. Using indigenous Arabic manuscripts, travel narratives, and oral materials, it assesses the meaning of a series of revolts against Islamic authority.
