Title
The long fight to return the 'Ségou treasure,' a spoil of colonization
Abstract
The Sufi spiritual leader El Hadj Omar Tall, who counted hundreds of thousands of followers, was a 19th-century scholar and anti-colonialist fighter. France's adoption of a law on the restitution of stolen cultural property could allow his descendants to recover his manuscripts, jewelry, and valuable possessions.
