Consequent upon the Berlin West Africa Conference (1884-1885), the
Africanische Gesellschaft in Deutschland launched the Niger-Benue
expedition to investigate possible riverine communications
throughout the Niger-Benue river system. Responsibility for the
expedition ultimately fell to Paul Staudinger, a young entomologist
with no experience of inner Africa.
This translation of Staudinger's Im Herzen der Haussalander opens
up an invaluable source book of interest not only to the historian
but to specialists in many disciplines. It deals with every aspect
of the life of the Hausa-Fulani people: their history, environment,
flora and fauna, culture, economy, and social structure as observed
by a patriotic young German scientist of a century ago. The
chronological narrative of the journey is followed by a series of
appendices, each providing a systematic summary of a particular
branch of knowledge.
Foreword by Paul Lovejoy."
