By balancing written history with the African oral tradition, this
book conceptualizes the integrations among diverse peoples of
Africa and specifically among the Songhoy people. Drawing from a
number of academic disciplines and original research that documents
the oral and literate traditions of the Songhoy people, Hassimi
Oumarou Maiga offers a unique interpretation of indigenous
Songhoy-African perspectives on African history, culture and
education from antiquity to the present day and from continental
Africa to the worldwide African Diaspora. In explaining the
cosmology, philosophy, values and process of indigenous, non-Muslim
education, this book also corrects and balances the perception of
the Songhoy as a wholly Muslim society. The legacy of the Songhoy
Empire, Maiga argues, is as a model of African integration through
its administrative and political organization, which remains
relevant even today. This book is an essential addition for
scholars and students of African history.
