TUKULOR (TUCULERS)

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 365 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: TOO-TUM
TUKULOR (TUCULERS) , the name, by some said to be the
French
  tout-couleur, for the
negro
  half-castes of
Senegal
 , who are principally of Fula-
Wolof
  descent. By others the word is identified with Tacurol, an old name of the
country
 , which took the form of Tacurores in the Portuguese writers of the 16th
century
 . The
Tukulor
  are settled chiefly in the Damga, Futa, Toro and Dimar districts of
Senegal
 , and are remarkable for their fanaticism as Mahommedans. An intelligent, energetic and fierce
people
 , they offered strenuous opposition to the
conquest
  of their
country
  by the
French
  in the latter half of the 19th
century
 .
