Baba of Karo is a 1954 book[1] by the anthropologist Mary F. Smith. The book is an anthropological record of the Hausa people, partly compiled from an oral account given by Baba (1877-1951), the daughter of a Hausa farmer and Koranic teacher, and translated by Smith.[2]

Smith's husband, the anthropologist M. G. Smith, contributed an explanation of the Hausa's cultural context.[1]

The 1981 reissue of Baba of Karo contains a foreword by Hilda Kuper.[2]
