Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a study of religious acculturation among the Hausa
of northern Nigeria. Greenberg bases his work on historical records and field experience in
both pagan villages and the Muslim city of Kano, presenting a summary of the pagan culture,
a detailed analysis of the pagan religion, and an examination of the diffusion of
Mohammedan culture through the Malams, a native class of learned men. Greenberg treats also
the resulting religion which is a combination of pagan, Muslim, combined, and newer
features.
