The book explores the cultural dynamics in metropolitan Kano, focusing on the interactions between the indigenous Hausa and southern Nigerian migrants. It delves into how cultural landscapes emerge from struggles over identity, values, and power. Key questions about the creation and significance of urban spaces—such as the placement of buildings and their meanings—highlight the complexities of cultural coexistence. The narrative examines who holds the authority to shape these landscapes and the implications of such power on community identities and relationships.
