Reseña del libro "Conquest and Resistance in West Africa. The Jeandet Affair and the Illusion of Colonial Justice"

A fascinating legal scandal that started in Senegal in 1890 with the murder of a colonial administrator and the illegal executions of his killer and two other alleged accomplices. The book follows the struggle of one of their widows’ for justice against the powerful colonial administration which eventually reached the French press and parliament. -- .

This book is an enthralling account of a legal scandal, which erupted in colonial Senegal in 1890 and reached the French metropolitan press and the parliament. The murder of a colonial administrator, Abel Jeandet, by one of his soldiers led to the brutal and illegal executions without trial of the killer and two local dignitaries. The volume follows the fascinating story of Ndiereby Ba, the widow of one of the dignitaries, who with the help of powerful métis men in the capital Saint Louis sued the French administrators who had supervised the executions for the murder of her husband. Through this captivating tale the book articulates the French expansion into West Africa, the resistance to colonial rule both violent and non-violent, and the lack of interest on the part of French politicians in the brutal conquest of a territory they know nothing about.
