- catalog abstract ""In a style both dramatic and poetic, Kaidara provides a rare view into the 1000-year tradition of the Fulani people of West Africa. This tale recounts the adventures of three characters searching for gold and knowledge, as related by Amadou Hampâté Bâ. Local tradition and Islamic events are beautifully woven together in his exploration of the cosmogony and esoteric tradition of the Fulani. The hero of Kaidara searches for the spiritual knowledge needed to qualify him as a leader--knowledge which is shrouded in secrecy and ritual. Only through spiritual means can power be legitimately attained. The hero and his two companions, journeying toward the land of Kaidara, are challenged by objects, animals and events."--Back cover.".
