GAMBIA’S MARIAMA
KHAN PUBLISHES
“THE GAMBIA-SENEGAL
BORDER—Issues
in Regional Integration”

This book interrogates the validity of longstanding claims that Gambians and Senegalese are "one" people in two countries and explores how that claim intersects with the politics and development needs of the two countries.

Routledge has published the work of our own Gambian sister, Mariama Khan. We introduce, briefly her piece based on The Gambia-Senegal border and regional integration issues.

         By Ebrima Papa Colley (Gambiano)

Just especially when time flowers out questions of striking thought-processing, and fate ushers in an era of revisiting the drawing board thanks to both regional economics, or perhaps geopolitical mentation, those with a wider vista could only do what they do, or have been doing best.

Brikama celebrates her own contribution to Gambia’s boon to providence. And Gambia, in such times could only proclaim a rare gem in Mariama—a benchmark in the keener lens category of those who see from afar.

We can best, perhaps join the minimalism in Routledge’s introduction of a work that looks like a rendezvous with the demands, in literature, of what seminally obtains between the sister countries of Gambia and Senegal.

We can never over-reiterate the concomitance of Mariama’s toil in this title with present day socio-economic bruises as well as geostrategic conversations between uncannily geographic binaries.

This book is apt of an aptness at an apt hour! It could perhaps take only Mariama, or her kindred-spirit to espy from a blurred contour and come with “The Gambia-Senegal Border—Issues in Regional Integration.”

forGambia will bring Mariama Khan to its radio for a special book exclusive in due course.
