Fanga: The Bamana in the middle Niger, 1830-1910

This study is about the history of the people identified as the Bamana. There are three major focal points of this study which are important to the historiography of West Africa and of political hegemony. First, this history is approached from the Bamana point of view. In addition, the Bamana Fanga is an example of ways in which state unity was found by ideologies other than religion. Moreover, this is a comparison between African and European occupations. These political activities take place in the Middle Niger Valley.
