Jean-Paul Colleyn's chapter on Bamanaya in the collection Le Mali contemporain, IRD Editions, 2014, is a dedicated academic study, confirmed against the publisher's own record of the chapter and collection. Its strength is that it is a specialist's own fieldwork based account of Bamanaya's persistence alongside Islam in Mali today, describing it as an underground but still considerable current rather than a vanished religion. Its limit is the ordinary one for a single chapter in an edited collection: it is one scholar's own synthesis of the contemporary evidence, not the last word on a living and understudied tradition.
