This monograph focuses on Gnokholo, a precolonial province of Senegal that has long been landlocked because of its eastern position and inhabited by Mandingoans. The decline of the Malian empire in the 15th century has been confined to a situation of geographical marginality in the foothills of the mountains Of the Fouta Djalon. This book reconstructs the geography, history, economy, culture and social structures of the pre-colonial Gnokholo Kingdom. It fills a deficit insofar as social studies have neglected these populations considered as part of a minority culture. Written in a simple and clear style, this book is in keeping with the tradition of the work of Father Boilat. It is an anthropological collection of a body of knowledge revealing various aspects of the country and the inhabitants of the Gnokholo.
Cette monographie porte sur le Gnokholo, une province du Senegal precolonial longtemps enclavee du fait de sa position orientale et habitee par des Mandingues que le declin de l'empire du Mali au XVe siecle a confinee dans une situation de marginalite geographique sur les contreforts des montagnes du Fouta Djalon. Cet ouvrage
reconstitue la geographie, l'histoire, l'economie, la culture et les structures sociales du royaume de Gnokholo precolonial. Il vient combler un deficit dans la mesure ou les etudes sociales ont neglige
ces populations considerees comme participant d'une culture
minoritaire.
Ecrit dans un style simple et clair, ce livre s'inscrit dans la tradition des travaux de l'Abbe Boilat. C'est une collecte de type anthropologique d'une somme de connaissances revelant divers aspects du pays et des habitants du Gnokholo.
