- Résumé
- This article is an attempt to come to grips with the Hausa people's use of the mosque as a political bargaining chip in contestations over the legitimacy of and use of power in Maradi. The reader should be aware that while the subject of this cursory foray into Hausa politics is the village of Jiratawa, there are many regional and national implications to the events examined in this article. The work itself deals with three consecutive Friday mosques in the village and the political machinations surrounding them.
