Book Description Original Blue cloth hardcover. Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 1972. xvi, 296pp. 12x Maps and figures, including 5x in envelope. "The work is divided into three main sections of text, and fourth of appendixes. An Introduction (Chapter 1) and Part " Book inI (Chapters 2-4) are prefactory, designed to provide essential points of reference on the natural, ethnic, social, administrative, political, and religious environment, as well as to adumbrate a few of the more evident themes encountered beyond. Thus Chapter 1 offers a short account of the area's physical setting; its multiethnic character; probable patterns of demographic change in the nineteenth century; and differences in sociopolitical status and religious affiliation associated with agnatic descent from one ethnic group or other. . Chapter 2 is concerned with Islamic doctrine as it seems to have guided the rulers of Gombe, Katagum, and Hadejia in their establishment and obervanceof legal norms for the conduct of public life (e.g. war, diplomacy, the ordering of justice) and also as it influenced the disposal of these polities' main source of wealth, annexed land and captured slaves or their decendants. . Chapter 3 considers at length what source material is available for a history of this genre . Chapter 4 surveys the major states and communities of the Nigerian savanna to 1800, or the eve of the Sokoto jihad, with special reference to Kanem-Bornu, Hausaland, and the nomadic Fulani of the northeast. Part II (Chapter 5-7) consists largely of historical narratives which set forth and analyze the core political events and instituations of Gombe, Katagum, and Hadejia from their establishments as Fulani emirates after 1800 until the mid-century, when they had assumed a character that endured, with some elaboration through minor basic change, through 1900. Part III (Chapter 8-10) bring the historical narrative to ca. 1900, or eve of British colonial rule." Book in excellent condition, minor pen markings to lower edges, no inscriptions.
