A cherished heritage by Ramatoulie Othman

A historical study of the Muslim Aku people of The Gambia, tracing their roots through freed slaves, Freetown Creoles, and West Indian settlers. Othman's most scholarly work excavates the origins and heritage of the Aku, a Gambian Muslim community whose history runs through the freed slave settlements of Freetown, Sierra Leone, the Creole culture of that city, and West Indian communities on the other side of the Atlantic. Written with both academic rigour and personal investment — Othman herself belongs to this community — the book is a significant contribution to Senegambian social history and a rare attempt to document a group that sits at the crossroads of several African diasporic identities.
