The Satiru Revolt of Peasants and Slaves in Sokoto Caliphate - Paperback

Based on the use of primary and secondary sources, the author is able to put together his academic research and understanding of policies of pre-colonial and colonial social formations in writing this book. Evidently, the author successfully examines the roles of peasants and slaves in a violent uprising that shocked the entire Sokoto Caliphate and the newly established British colonial administration in Sokoto, the capital emirate of the Caliphate. I therefore, do not hesitate in strongly recommending this book for tertiary and a broad spectrum of scholars, researchers and students in the various fields of humanities and social sciences such as history, religious studies, sociology, anthropology, political science and security studies. - Professor Ibrahim M.
