Description:

John H. Hanson's thoroughly researched study revises late-19th-century colonialist assumptions about a West African Muslim social movement. The book investigates three political crises that took place in Nioro, a town in the region of Karta in the upper Senegal River valley, conquered during a military jihad by Shaykh Umar Tal.
