Baba of Karo, a Woman of the Muslim Hausa

By: Baba (of Karo),Mary Felice Smith

Daughter of a Hausa farmer and Koranic teacher, Baba became Mary Smith's friend in 1949, when M. G. and Mary Smith were engaged in fieldwork in Nigeria. In daily sessions for several weeks Baba dictated her life story, which Mrs. Smith has translated from the Hausa. The old woman's memories reached back to the days of slave raids and interstate warfare before the British occupation, and she has left a fascinating and valuable record of Hausa life in the late nineteenth century and the first half of the twentieth. Baba describes Hausa male-oriented society from a woman's point of view, narrating not only her own life history but stories of other women who were close to her. She tells of Hausa domestic life, farming, and slavery, and explains the Hausa institutions of bond friendship, adoption, polygynous marriage, and kinship, showing how, in a society that permits easy and frequent divorce, children are not exclusively dependent on their biological parents for emotional support. First published in 1945 and now reissued with a new foreword by Hilda Kuper, this autobiography of a shrewd, humorous, and courageous personality remains a classic in the field of African studies and a uniquely valuable account of a Muslim society in West Africa.

Love and the Other World

Love Lives Beyond Life

By: Irfan Baba

Kaif is a promising young student with an unusually powerful imagination. To secure his love, he creates a fantasy world around himself, preserving his love within its shell, away from reality. He visits often but comes back to realityuntil one day he becomes lost in his imaginary world and never returns. A renowned psychologist turned spiritual leader, Haroon Baba, vows to bring Kaif back. He has a secret gift: he is able to enter the other world himself and to send anyone there. He seeks the help of a famous Canadian hypnotist named Dr. Schuller, a man who had once sought training with him but was turned away. Both men go on a voyage to the other world, where they observe Kaifs past and present life, hoping to bring him back through scientific techniques. As Kaif struggles for his love and the other two men strive for their purpose, only time will tell whether love or purpose will win out in the end. Exploring the concept of the imagination as a world unto itself, this novel follows the tale of three men dealing with the conflict between love and purpose in various ways.
