Reviews
This book by Shobana Shankar is a real eye-opener: she reveals the world of Christians, since 1890 half-hidden within Nigeria's Muslim Hausaland, both as a community and as a series of remarkable individuals. Missionaries and converts alike are treated with insight and a remarkable depth of detail, culled from rarely read sources. - Murray Last, professor emeritus of anthropology, University College London
...A landmark work that will usher in new era of writing on northern Nigeria...[Its] pertinence lies in its potential as an alternative source to counterbalance the misleading yet popular narrative which prefers to depict the part of Nigeria commonly called the 'core north' as being an almost, if not, exclusive preserve of Muslims. -Africa at LSE This book by Shobana Shankar is a real eye-opener: she reveals the world of Christians, since 1890 half-hidden within Nigeria's Muslim Hausaland, both as a community and as a series of remarkable individuals.
