摘要：Literature is one of the most important and complex of cultural products. It reflects changes that are happening in the social order. Literature could also be used to protect culture from the changes that are coming from outside.

It conceptualises and articulates the field of border studies from the selected novels that describe Hausa society on the eve of the colonial transition.
