In studying ethno-linguistic groups of Subsaharan Africa, most books fall into two types. First, there are indepth ethnographic studies, most of which are out-of-print. Secondly, there are books on specific ethnic groups which are readily available, most of which are children's books.
This book on the Wolof was written for young students. As a result, it is readable in style, comprehensive in scope, and rich in imagery. All of these qualities make this work not only helpful for its stated audience, but also informative for readers of most ages.
For a study of the Wolof, also consider David Gamble, The Wolof of Senegambia, Together With Notes on the Lebu and the Serer. For the extraordinary biography of a Wolof-American woman, Anna Kingsley, see the much-anticipated work by Daniel Schafer.
