Reviews
This book is a very important one. Assan Sarr addresses critical issues and offers valuable, new insights from a well-researched base. [...] Islam, Power, and Dependency speaks in valuable ways to Africanist historians and other scholars, as well as to individuals who have absorbed rarely challenged ideas about Africa., Islam, Power, and Dependency in the Gambia River Basin is a work of substance and an invaluable contribution to the study of land and Gambian historiography. It should be of interest to academics and general readers., Assan Sarr is making me rethink much of what I thought I knew, from four decades of study, about land, politics, and society along the lower Gambia River in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This is African history at its best. -- Donald R. Wright, Distinguished Teaching Professor of History Emeritus, SUNY Cortland Not only is this book an outstanding analysis of the dynamic interactions between spiritual forces, political power, dependency, and control over land in the transition from indigenous to colonial rule, it is an interesting and useful introduction to the recent history of The Gambia. IJAHS This useful book must be read by Gambia's current rulers to understand why Jammeh would want to own hundreds of lots of land in a country of only 10,000 square kilometres. AFRICA

Synopsis
Islam, Power, and Dependency in the Gambia River Basin draws on new sources to offer an original approach to the study of land in African history. Documenting the impact of Islamization, the development of peanut production, and the institution of colonial rule on people living along the middle and lower Gambia River, the book shows how these waves of changes sweeping the region after 1850 altered local political and social arrangements, with important implications for the ability of elites to control land.Author Assan Sarr argues for a nuanced understanding of land and its historic value in Africa. Moving beyond a recognition of the material value of land, Sarr's analysis highlights its cultural and social worth, pointing out the spiritual associations the land generated and the ways that certain people gained privileged access to those spiritual powers. By emphasizing that the land around the Gambia River both inspired and gave form to a cosmology of ritual and belief, the book points to what might be considered an indigenous tradition of ecological preservation and protection.Assan Sarr is assistant professor of history at Ohio University., An original, rigorously researched volume that questions long-accepted paradigms concerning land ownership and its use in Africa.
