Acerca de este libro electrónico

Fulani Social Structures delves into the fascinating ways the Fulani people, despite their widespread presence across West Africa, have maintained a distinct cultural and religious identity for centuries. The book argues that their success lies in a resilient social structure built upon adaptable leadership, a commitment to pastoral nomadism, and a shared dedication to Islamic scholarship. One intriguing aspect is how Fulani communities adapted their leadership models, ranging from clan-based systems to theocratic states, to suit different environments.

The book progresses by first introducing core concepts of Fulani social organization, such as lineage systems, before exploring how authority was maintained in various contexts. It then examines the economic and social implications of their mobile lifestyle and the unifying role of Islam in shaping their identity. By examining historical chronicles, oral traditions, and ethnographic studies, Fulani Social Structures offers a nuanced perspective on the interplay between social structures, mobility, and religious identity, making it a valuable resource for those interested in African history, Islamic studies, and social anthropology. This approach moves beyond simple narratives to provide a comprehensive analysis.
