Tribal Spiritual Chief, Succession of Power, and Funerary Customs Among the Sara Khaba of Chad Republic (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798295525568)

This book pays tribute to a people, a memory, and an identity. Through rigorous research nourished by oral sources, Félix Kaimba Ngoussou gives voice and dignity back to the Sara Khaba people of Chad.

Between history, anthropology, and testimony, the author explores the origins, social organization, beliefs, funeral rites, chieftaincy, and the impact of colonization on the culture of the Sara Khaba. The work reveals a world where customary authority, spirituality, and intergenerational transmission intertwine to preserve the soul of a people long unknown.

At once a scientific work and an act of memory, Customary Power, Succession and Funeral Customs among the Sara Khaba of Ngaguet stands out as an essential contribution to the rewriting of African history by Africans themselves.
