The confusion is confounded by the choice and placement of illustrations, with Guinean sculptures in a chapter on Senegambia and a delightful section of present-day Senegalese glass paintings within the chapter on early Sierra Leone.

Might early Luso-African identity in Senegambia be elucidated by comparison to Greolites elsewhere in Africa and the rest of the world?

Chapter Five, on the colonial conquest and the marabout/tieddo conflicts in Senegambia, proved to be the most successful of the chapters, very clearly written with important concepts spelled out.
Also effective is the seamless way in which the author uses appropriate African proverbs and stories in the text to illustrate the history and cultural traditions of the region.
