Abstract

The Bassari tribes of West Africa, while sharing a common name, exhibit significant cultural, traditional, and linguistic divergences. This chapter serves as an introduction to the multifaceted identities of the Bassari people, focusing on those residing in Ghana and Togo, as well as their counterparts in Senegal, Gambia, and Guinea. Despite their shared ancestry, the Bassari tribes have developed distinct cultural identities shaped by their historical contexts, traditional values, and dialectical variations. This analysis aims to underscore the complexities of cultural diversity within the Bassari ethnic groups, revealing how their unique experiences contribute to the rich tapestry of West African heritage.
