Palace architecture is considered first and foremost as political in nature, and therefore as responding not only to the needs and expectations of the conquerors, but also to those of the largely sedentary, agricultural, non-Muslim conquered peoples who constituted the majority population. In the process of reconciling the cultures of these various constituents, new architectural forms and local identities were constructed.African History5.PalacesCameroonHistoryArchitectureCameroonHistoryArchitecturefastFula (African people)fastFula (African people)Kings and rulersfastKings and rulersDwellingsfastPalacesfastFulani EmpireHistoryNgaoundéré (Cameroon)Kings and rulersDwellingsHistoryAfricaFulani EmpirefastCameroonfastCameroonNgaoundéréfastHistory.fastElectronic books.PalacesHistory.ArchitectureHistory.Architecture.Fula (African people)Fula (African people)Kings and rulers.Kings and rulersDwellings.Palaces.728.82096711DeLancey Mark Dike1973-984280NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910480250303321Conquest and construction2248017UNINA
