In Conquest and Construction Mark Dike DeLancey investigates the
palace architecture of northern Cameroon, a region that was
conquered in the early nineteenth century by primarily
semi-nomadic, pastoralist, Muslim, Fulbe forces and incorporated as
the largest emirate of the Sokoto Caliphate. Palace architecture is
considered first and foremost as political in nature, and therefore
as responding not only to the needs and expectations of the
conquerors, but also to those of the largely sedentary,
agricultural, non-Muslim conquered peoples who constituted the
majority population. In the process of reconciling the cultures of
these various constituents, new architectural forms and local
identities were constructed.
