Opis

Though sharing many terms of debate, Fulbe persons passionately argue about Muslim ideals and 'pagan' practices, about Fulbe tradition and national reform, and about local histories and global flows. In Fulbe culture, social worlds are articulated and transformed through narrative and embodied performance.
