An Introduction to the Precolonial History of the Mende of Sierra Leone
Author: Arthur Abraham
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
This study of the Mende, the largest ethnic group in Sierra Leone, uncovers Mende origins, ending at the beginning of the colonial period. Drawing from documentary, oral, anthropological, linguistic and other evidence, the work argues that Mende originated as a lingua franca sometime in the late 16th century and spread fairly quickly. State formation began in the 17th century, gathering momentum in the late 18th and 19th centuries. Three case studies form the focus of the rest of the book.

Book Description
The history of the Mɛnde language in Sierra Leone and Liberia can be traced back as far as the migration period of the Mandi people from North-Central Africa during the disintegration of the Songhai Empire of the fourth and fifth centuries. Mɛnde remains a living language today. Unfortunately, strange and deplorable developments over the last five decades have negatively affected the spread of the Mɛnde language. Since the colonial expansion into South-Eastern Sierra Leone, the Mɛnde people quickly became more educated. The result was that an elitist group of educated Mɛndes frowned upon speaking the Mɛnde language in public. This elitist, educated Mɛnde group preferred to speak English or the obliterated English referred to as
