Senegambia and the Atlantic Slave Trade
Authoritative account of 400 years of West African history by a leading scholar.
The Politics of Senegambian Integration, 1958-1994
This study focuses on the experience in state-managed cooperation and integration between The Gambia and Senegal. Specifically, it examines the nexus between national politics in The Gambia and inter-state cooperation in Senegambia; that is, the impact and implications of politics in The Gambia on the process of cooperation with Senegal in functional areas. The Senegambia case is a microcosm of the African dilemma of reconciling the ideological imperative of African unity and regional integration, recently enshrined in the Constitutive Act of the African Union, and the primordial reality of protecting national statehood and particularistic interests.

Ethnic Groups of the Senegambia Region
Ethnic Groups of the Senegambia Region deals with the major ethnic groups of the Senegambia Region, namely: the Wolof, Mandinka, Fula, Jola, Serahule, Tukulor and Serer. The book addresses the issues of origins, migration, settlements, state formation, intra- and inter-state relationships. It also addresses the European subjugation of these peoples.

Patience Sanko-Godwin is the author of the following books: Social and Political Structures in the Pre-Colonial Period: Ethnic Groups of the Senegambia Region; Leaders of the Senegambia Region: Reactions to European Infiltration; Trade in the Senegambia Region: From the 12th to the Early 20th Century; Development of the Local Industries in the Senegambia Region: From the Pre-Colonial to the Colonial Period.
The Jakhanke
When originally published in 1979, this was the first comprehensive study of the Jakhanke in any language. Despite the 19th ambience of jihad, the Jakhanke maintined their tradition of consistent pacifism and political neutrality which is unique in Muslim Black Africa. Drawing on histories, interviews, and colonial reports the book traces the details of the Jakhanke pilgrimages and analyses important themes such as their system of education, their function as dream-interpreters and amulet-makers and finally the dependence of their way of life on the institution of slavery.
Ominous Transition
Ominous Transition is about the relationship between banditry and political power in the former Portuguese colony of Guinea (presently Guinea-Bissau). The book begins in the mid-nineteenth century, during what one might call the 'classical era' of political economy because of Great Britain's abolition of slavery and passage of the first factory legislation; it ends with the 1911 republican revolution in Portugal and the outbreak of the First World War three years later.
