8vo. [9], x-xxvi, [3], 4-228 pp. Blue cloth with gold lettering on the spine. Price of 50s. net on the front flap of the dust jacket. Illustrated with a full-page map. A historical examination of the spread of Islam through northern Ghana and its neighboring countries before European Imperialism gripped the African continent. The author argues this study is important, as it sheds light on a peaceful movement, one which saw Islam spread through Arab trade networks. Traders who practiced Islam moved and exchanged goods throughout the western part of Africa and were allowed to settle in these lands with the permission of local chieftains. The author examines these relationships region by region, in a detailed case study of cultural exchange. Seller Inventory # 00009850
