Source: 1995. The Peopling of Africa. New Haven: Yale University Press. 53.
Date Created: 1995
Map Description:
This map displays the origin areas of the Fulbe people (Fulfulde speakers) and the migration paths they took. Also pictured are important cities of the times and the large civilizations which were influenced by the Fulbe group. Newman states that the original impetus for migration may have been the increasingly powerful, Islamacized Takrur. He also discusses their culture and how their movement affected government systems and other sedentary peoples (Newman 1995: 51-54).
