Have you always dreamed of becoming a business owner but fear has held you back? Maybe you are afraid because you don't know where to start, how to start, or if you are even cut out to be in business. Or perhaps you have recently purchased or started a business, and it is not going quite how you anticipated. Starting up and owning a small business is a lot of things: rewarding, exciting, challenging, and yes, sometimes very scary. Take the fear out of starting up or moving forward with your new business. Let's get you on the right path to becoming to go to business in your community.
What makes a business stand out from its competitors and distinguish itself from every other business in the community? When a business becomes the go-to company, it enjoys a steady supply of customers whose loyalty is bulletproof. If you own a business that is a constant source of challenge and frustration, if you are seeing less cashflow than you need, if your work-home balance is topsy-turvy, and if you feel you are spinning your wheels, this book will break that vicious cycle and set you on the path toward vitality and profitability.
The Tarikh al-fattash is one of the most important and celebrated sources for the history of pre-colonial West Africa, yet it has confounded scholars for decades with its inconsistences and questions surrounding its authorship. In this study, Mauro Nobili examines and challenges existing theories on the chronicle, arguing that much of what we have presumed about the work is deeply flawed. Making extensive use of previously unpublished Arabic sources, Nobili demonstrates that the Tarikh al-fattash was in fact written in the nineteenth century by a Fulani scholar, Nu? b. al-?ahir, who modified pre-existing historiographical material as a political project in legitimation of the West African Islamic state known as the Caliphate of ?amdallahi and its founding leader A?mad Lobbo. Contextualizing its production within the broader development of the religious and political landscape of West Africa, this study represents a significant moment in the study of West African history and of the evolution of Arabic historical literature in Timbuktu and its surrounding regions.
