  • Concealing Authority: Diola priests and other leaders in the French search for a suitable chefferie in colonial Senegal Robert M. Baum Multidisciplinarias (Ciencias Sociales) This article aims to explain the complexity of the relationship between Diola (or Joola) chiefs and the French colonial administration. After presenting the general Diola context, the author focalizes in Diola-Esulaalu and Diola-Huluf populations, both south of the Casamance River. In this area, the traditional authorities were the leaders of the anticolonial resistance. For this reason, French officials turned to early Diola converts to Christianity to try to control the population. According both to oral information and to colonial archives, the French administration never controlled the leaders of Diola traditional religion (awaseena) or, consequently, the Diola population. 2009 artículo científico 1645-3794 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=293023475003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=2930 Cadernos de Estudos Africanos application/pdf ISCTE-Instituto Universitário de Lisboa Cadernos de Estudos Africanos (Portugal) Num.16-17
