It attempts to present a structured approach to the study of the concept and art of indigenous African warfare and their relevance in colonial and post-colonial contexts. It also sets out to correct the fundamental misconception that such warfare evolved only after contacts with Europeans. Finally, it seeks to rejuvenate the study of indigenous warfare and raise its profile in the study of modern warfare. 0aIndigenous peoplesxWarfarezAfrica.954313 0aMilitary art and sciencezAfricaxHistory.9543141 aAssensoh, A.
