Environment and Identity Politics in Colonial Africa: Fulani Migrations and Land Conflict.

Emmanuel Mbah

Environment and Identity Politics in Colonial Africa: Fulani Migrations and Land Conflict. - London, United Kingdom,: Routledge.; December 27, 2016. - ix,175p.; ill,: 24cm.

This book examines the migrations of the Fulani (also known as Fula) people in colonial Africa, and how these movements intersected with land conflicts, environmental change, and identity politics in colonial contexts. By focusing on pastoral‐agrarian interactions, migration dynamics, land use, and the colonial state’s responses, it shows how environment and identity were deeply entwined in the politics of colonial Africa. The study situates Fulani migrations not simply as movements of people, but as processes embedded in ecological change, colonial policy, power relations, and community identity formation.
