Overview

Discover the untold origins of one of West Africa's most profound intellectual giants. In Lamina Sankoh: The Formative Years (1884-1904), this scholarly inquiry explores the transition of Etheldred Nathaniel Jones into the iconic revolutionary Lamina Sankoh. Set against the backdrop of colonial Sierra Leone, this volume meticulously traces Sankoh's journey through the Anglican networks of Gloucester, the rigorous classical education of Fourah Bay College, and the radicalizing influence of Edward Wilmot Blyden. This book offers a deep dive into Krio identity, missionary contradictions, and the symbolic power of renaming as an act of decolonization. Essential reading for historians of Africa, students of Pan-Africanism, and those interested in the intellectual architecture of independence.
