Fulbe Presence in Sierra Leone ― A Case History of Twentieth-Century Migration and Settlement Among the Kissi of Koindu

Sierra Leone-born Bah (African history, College of Charleston) serves as a guide to the complex processes which led to the post-colonial defining of the borders of his native land as well as Liberia and Guinea. His case study of the Fulbe people (who contributed considerably to the crossroads town of Koindu) addresses the discrimination that bedevils artificially drawn borders. A bibliographical essay, oral sources, sample oral interviews, maps and photos are appended. The bibliography includes archival sources. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
