This monograph focuses on Gnokholo, a precolonial province of Senegal that has long been landlocked because of its eastern position and inhabited by Mandingoans. The decline of the Malian empire in the 15th century has been confined to a situation of geographical marginality in the foothills of the mountains Of the Fouta Djalon. This book reconstructs the geography, history, economy, culture and social structures of the pre-colonial Gnokholo Kingdom. It fills a deficit insofar as social studies have neglected these populations considered as part of a minority culture. Written in a simple and clear style, this book is in keeping with the tradition of the work of Father Boilat. It is an anthropological collection of a body of knowledge revealing various aspects of the country and the inhabitants of the Gnokholo.Cette monographie porte sur le Gnokholo, une province du Sénégal précolonial longtemps enclavée du fait de sa position orientale et habitée par des Mandingues que le déclin de l’empire du Mali au XVe siècle a confinée dans une situation de marginalité géographique sur les contreforts des montagnes du Fouta Djalon. Cet ouvragereconstitue la géographie, l’histoire, l’économie, la culture et les structures sociales du royaume de Gnokholo précolonial. Il vient combler un déficit dans la mesure où les études sociales ont négligéces  populations  considérées  comme  participant  d’une  cultureminoritaire.Ecrit dans un style simple et clair, ce livre s’inscrit dans la tradition des travaux de l’Abbé Boilat. C’est une collecte de type anthropologique d’une somme de connaissances révélant divers aspects du pays et des habitants du Gnokholo.Sadio  Camara est un instituteur de formation.  Il a enseigné dans les années qui ont précédé l’accession à l’indépendance. Mais vite l’homme abandonne son métier pour se consacrer entièrement à la lutte politique avec le PAI (Parti Africain de l’Indépendance).  Il a occupé de hauts niveaux de responsabilité dans les instances dirigeantes de ce parti politique et a publié « Epopée du Parti Africain de l’Indépendance » (PAI-Sénégal) (1957-1980) paru à l’Harmattan – France en 2013.
