Outsiders and Strangers - Haour, Anne (Reader, Sainsubry Research Unit, University of East Anglia)

Asking what archaeology can bring to the debate on liminal peoples in West African societies, and drawing together for the first time the extensive literature on the subject of outsiders, this volume looks in detail at the role outsiders played in the past 1000 years of the West African past, in particular in the construction of great empires.
