From Slavery to Aid engages two major themes in African
historiography, the slow death of slavery and the evolution of
international development, and reveals their interrelation in the
social history of the region of Ader in the Nigerien Sahel.
Benedetta Rossi traces the historical transformations that turned a
society where slavery was a fundamental institution into one
governed by the goals and methods of 'aid'. Over an impressive
sweep of time - from the pre-colonial power of the Caliphate of
Sokoto to the aid-driven governments of the present - this study
explores the problem that has remained the central conundrum
throughout Ader's history: how workers could meet subsistence needs
and employers fulfil recruitment requirements in an area where
natural resources are constantly exposed to the climatic hazards
characteristic of the edge of the Sahara.
