Serer history

A 19th-century war and ceremonial drum called junjung from the Kingdom of Sine.

The medieval history of the Serer people of Senegambia is partly characterised by resisting Islamization from perhaps the 11th century during the Almoravid movement (which would later result in the Serers of Takrur migration to the south),[1] to the 19th century Marabout movement of Senegambia[2][3][4] and continuation of the old Serer paternal dynasties.
