‘NO KINGS, NO LORDS, NO SLAVES’: ETHNICITY AND RELIGION AMONG THE SEREER-SAFÈN OF WESTERN BAWOL, 1700–1914 I would like to thank the Fulbright Program and the Social Science Research Council for supporting my research. I began this research as a Fulbright Lecturer in 1989. In 1995 I received a grant from the Social Science Research Council, which allowed me to continue research. I thank Babacar Faye, who introduced me to the Safèn; M. Seck, who was village chief of Bandia in 1989 and 1995; Babacar Ndione, the Imam of the village; Farba Cisse, an expert on oral traditions; and all the elders and families in Bandia who cooperated with my research. I would also like to thank Mariella Villasante de-Beauvais, Institut de Recherches et d’Etudes sur le Monde Arabe et Musulman, for her comments on an earlier draft of this article. Her suggestions were useful in sharpening the focus of the arguments about ethnic identity. I also thank the anonymous readers for the Journal of African History.
