The anti-colonial war in the Volta and Bani region of West Africa in 1915-16 was one of the largest armed oppositions to colonialism anywhere in Africa, yet it is largely unknown in the English-speaking world. This book combines cultural and sociologicalanalysis to explore the origins of the movement, its strategy, the reasons for its initial success, and its legacy for the region after its defeat. The book contributes to the anthropology of colonialism, the military history of indigenous Africa, and totheoretical debates on structure and agency.
