- This book retraces the history of the survival of a precolonial African territory (Borno) within a modern African country (Nigeria) by studying the history of political space in Borno from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. Analysing documents and maps gleaned from archival work in London, Berlin, Paris, Kaduna and Maiduguri, this monograph uses a variety of precolonial, colonial and postcolonial sources written or translated in Kanuri, English, French and German. This book was the result of 4 years of archival work and fieldwork in the region unfortunately known as being as the craddle of Boko Haram.
