Description

Explore the complex history of West African political structures with Family Identity And The State In The Bamako Kafu. Published by Routledge, this book examines the cultural context of family claims to power within the Bamako kafu, or state, located in what is now contemporary Mali. Focusing on the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the text provides a deep look into how political status was shaped and maintained. Perinbam examines how the lack of precise information regarding the Bamako kafu's political status allowed families to use myths, rituals, and ancestral legends to solidify their authority. By manipulating belief systems, these families made their claims to state power appear incontrovertible. The research even notes how the French, upon reaching the region, accepted these established representations of power. This work is a significant resource for those studying African history, political science, and the evolution of statehood in West Africa.
