Sobre este artículo
London: Heath, Cranton & Ouseley Ltd, 1914. First edition. 61 photos. 47 figures in the text. 504 pp. 8vo. Original brown cloth. Spine slightly faded, else a fine copy. First edition. 61 photos. 47 figures in the text. 504 pp. 8vo. "When one speaks to a Hausa, he sees only one individual, but in reality he is addressing himself to four or five beings, the number depending usually upon whether the person with whom he is conversing, is married or not." Although Tremearne's opening sentence bears all the hallmarks of a Kurt Vonnegut novel, his study draws on his considerable time spent in the field and is a significant contribution to our knowledge of the Hausa.
