| Description: | This study presents African history from an African point of view, decolonizing history through its focus on Wolof-historical agency, critical readings of French sources, and a Wolof-centered chronology of historical transformation. It presents the French colonial conquest of Senegal as part of Wolof civil war. |
| Key Points: | Critical developments in this conflict were the ongoing battles between Islam & monarchy that commenced with the Muslim rebellion of 1859. The author shows how the struggle between Islam & monarchy undermined & shaped institutions of colonial rule, based on an alliance between the French & Wolof aristocrats. The study also examines slavery, slave emancipation, and the peasant economy against this background of civil war. |
