The mobilization of local ideas about racial difference has been
important in generating, and intensifying, civil wars that have
occurred since the end of colonial rule in all of the countries
that straddle the southern edge of the Sahara Desert. From Sudan to
Mauritania, the racial categories deployed in contemporary
conflicts often hearken back to an older history in which blackness
could be equated with slavery and non-blackness with predatory and
uncivilized banditry. This book traces the development of arguments
about race over a period of more than 350 years in one important
place along the southern edge of the Sahara Desert: the Niger Bend
in northern Mali. Using Arabic documents held in Timbuktu, as well
as local colonial sources in French and oral interviews, Bruce S.
Hall reconstructs an African intellectual history of race that long
predated colonial conquest, and which has continued to orient
inter-African relations ever since.
