Description

<DIV><P>Nana Asma&#39;u Bint Usman &#39;dan Fodiyo, a nineteenth-century Muslim scholar, lived in the region now known as northern Nigeria and was an eyewitness to battles of the largest of the West-African jihads of the era.

The preparation and conduct of the jihad provide the topics for Nana Asma&#39;u&#39;s poetry.

Her work also includes treatises on history, law, mysticism, theology, and politics, and was heavily influenced by the Arabic poetic tradition.&#160;<BR /> &#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; This volume contains annotated translations of works by the 19th century intellectual giant, Nana Asma&#39;u, including 54 poems and prose texts.

Asma&#39;u rallied public opinion behind a movement devoted to the revival of Islam in West Africa, and organized a public education system for women.</P></DIV>
