Contents Part 1: The Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP) rule -- The prime ministership of Milton A.S. Margai, 1961-64 -- The administration of Albert M. Margai, 1964-67 -- Part 2: The All People's Congress (APC) era -- The Siaka P. Stevens years, 1968-85 -- The Joseph S. Momoh presidency, 1985-92 Summary This groundbreaking volume explores the history of Muslim Fula business elites' participation in the post-independence politics of Sierra Leone. One of the country's main entrepreneurial groups, the Fula are also part of a larger Islamic presence in West Africa, extending from Senegal to Cameroon. Author Alusine Jalloh examines Fula political relationships with the successive governments of Sierra Leone following independence in 1961: first, with the Sierra Leone People's Party during the prime ministership of the brothers Dr. Milton A.S. Margai and Albert M. Margai, and later with the All People's Congress under the leadership of Siaka P. Stevens and Joseph S. Momoh. The study ends with the ouster in 1992 of President Momoh in a military coup. Using the lens of business history, this important work expands on the themes of immigration and ethnicity, and treats such issues as the rivalry between Sierra Leonean-born Fula and those born in Guinea, the intersection of Fula business elites and the development of Islam in Sierra Leone, and relations between Sierra Leone and Guinea. The book will be of great interest to students and scholars of the business, Islamic, and political history of Sierra Leone, as well as those interested in global business history and ethnic history Analysis Alusine Jalloh Business Elites Business History Development Economic Entrepreneurial Group Ethnic History Ethnicity Global Business History Guinean-born Fula History Ideology Immigration Independence Indigenous Ecclesiastical Hierarchies Islamic Presence Islamic Market Participation Muslim Fula Business Elites and Politics in Sierra Leone Muslim Fula Political History Political Relationships Politics Poverty Reduction Sierra Leone Sierra Leonean-born Fula University of Texas at Arlington West Africa Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Vendor-supplied metadata Subject Fula (African people) -- Sierra Leone -- Politics and government Muslims -- Political activity -- Sierra Leone Businesspeople -- Political activity -- Sierra Leone HISTORY -- Africa -- West.
