West African Islamic manuscripts constitute a distinctive
manuscript / book making tradition within the wider Islamic
manuscript/bookmaking culture. There is also a distinctive calligraphic
tradition associated with the region. Very little has been researched
(and published) on this tradition, compared to that - say of the
"Persian" illuminated tradition - so any loss of this nature is really
sad.
There is an enormous amount of regional / local history
that resides in the manuscripts, as well as the extensive collection of
correspondence that also forms part of the Ahmed Baba's collection. Much
of this relates to pre-colonial times; it's really ignorant to claim
that it's some sort of retribution for colonialism. If anything, the
manuscript collections are a testament to an incredible intellectual and
cultural tradition that should be preserved. It's a damn shame to see
this incredible legacy destroyed. (Guardian Online commenter "Philobile" 28 Jan 2013)

I believe everything posted made a lot of sense.
ReplyDeleteHowever, what about this? what if you added a little information?
I ain't suggesting your content is not good., but what if you added a post title that makes people desire more? I mean "Timbuktu's
Libraries Torched" is a little boring. You should look at Yahoo's home page and note how they create post headlines to get people to click. You might try adding a video or a related picture or two to get readers interested about everything've written. Just my opinion, it might bring your posts a little bit more interesting.
