Objetivo The eighteenth and nineteenth century history of the central Sahara and Sahel has primarily been written using Europeanor jihadist Arabic sources. This has led to an overwhelming emphasis on religion, politics, and geography as core themesthat shaped social and cultural dynamics in this region. By focusing on sources in African languages—until now largelyforgotten by historians—the project LANGARCHIV aims to enrich and expand this narrative. Hausa and Kanuri materialcollected by Germanophone, British, and French scholars for linguistic study between 1772 and 1913 in West and NorthAfrica, England, and Brazil cries out for collaboration between historians, linguists, and anthropologists. This rich body ofprimary sources remains under-studied, having been rejected as colonial even though the majority were collected beforecolonial occupation. A general reconsideration of this material will enable a major shift in our understanding, toward a‘history from below’ that will make it possible to explore the history of Sahelian societies through the stories that Sahelianstold about themselves. Serving as linguae francae, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries Hausa and Kanuri werespoken from Tripoli to Kano and Bahia, and today Hausa remains the most widely spoken language in West Africa, with 50million speakers scattered over more than 6 countriesLANGARCHIV will be the first project to explore materials in African languages as sources for African history. Combiningan epistemological analysis of European scientific interest in African languages with the will to write a social history thatovercomes the jihadist bias, the project aims to bring about a paradigmatic shift in the history of the central Sahara andSahel. It will achieve this goal by revealing a rich body of primary sources and by developing an innovative analyticalframework for using documents generated by early students of African languages and cultures as historical sources.
