Jangi Jellof by Momodou Sabally

A first-person account of the birth of university education in The Gambia, written by a man who was part of the very first graduating class. When university education arrived in The Gambia for the first time, Sabally was among the first batch of students, serving as president of the students' association and graduating as valedictorian. This memoir documents that founding moment in Gambian educational history — the politics, the personalities, the unexpected difficulties and unexpected joys of building an academic institution in a small country with big ambitions. Launched by President Jammeh himself at the time, it has since taken on a different significance as an honest document of that era written by someone who lived it.
