PAPERBACK FOR SALE IN AFRICA ONLY The first comprehensive book on
the participation of Muslim Fula business elites in the
post-independence politics of Sierra Leone This groundbreaking
volume explores the history of Muslim Fula business elites'
participation in the post-independence politics of Sierra Leone.
One of the country's main entrepreneurial groups, the Fula are also
part of a largerIslamic presence in West Africa, extending from
Senegal to Cameroon. Author Alusine Jalloh examines Fula political
relationships with the successive governments of Sierra Leone
following independence in 1961: first, with the Sierra Leone
People's Party during the prime ministership of the brothers Dr.
Milton A. S. Margai and Albert M. Margai, and later with the All
People's Congress under the leadership of Siaka P. Stevens and
Joseph S. Momoh. The study ends with the ouster in 1992 of
President Momoh in a military coup. Using the lens of business
history, this important work expands on the themes of immigration
and ethnicity, and treats such issues as the rivalry betweenSierra
Leonean-born Fula and those born in Guinea, the intersection of
Fula business elites and the development of Islam in Sierra Leone,
and relations between Sierra Leone and Guinea. The book will be of
great interest to students and scholars of the business, Islamic,
and political history of Sierra Leone, as well as those interested
in global business history and ethnic history. Alusine Jalloh is
Associate Professor of history and founding director of the Africa
Program at the University of Texas at Arlington.
