Original Black Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. 1997. x, 338pp. "This is the first study of slavery and its legacy in the Yoruba and incompletely Islamicised periphery of the Sokoto caliphate and of northern Nigeria. It shows the decline of slavery and the emergence of a small-scale peasantry at the end of the nineteenth century, and takes the story into the late-colonial and post-independence periods. Focusing on Ilorin, the city and emirate on the southern fringe of the caliphate, now in Nigeria, it shows how relations between the city elite and the ex-slaves and peasants they controlled have fluctuated during the long process of oppression and reaction. Ann O'Hear is Co-ordinator of Intercultural Studies at Niagara University, New York." Titles to book spine in silver lettering. Both unclipped jacket and book are in near fine condition. No inscriptions. All contents are tight and clean.
