- This history of the sultanate of Borno (1391-1814) explores representations of the sultanate from local Arabic sources (offering a cultural history of Borno); an environmental history of the sultanate’s surroundings (Lake Chad, the Sahel and Sahara); an examination of the mobility in the sultanate, focusing on the Hajj (using histories of religion and migration); and an account of the building of Borno as an Islamic state. It is the first comprehensive history of Borno and its connections, from Morocco to Mecca, and Ghana to Istanbul, and establishes Borno at the geographical, political, social and cultural heart of that world.
