The United Africa Company (UAC), formed in 1929 by the fusion of
the Niger Company and the African and Eastern Corporation, was by
far the largest single commercial organization in West and
Equatorial Africa, and thus central to modern African economic
history. This is the first detailed account to be published and one
which fills a serious gap in the literature. It was not
commissioned by the company (now reabsorbed into Unilever) but the
author had full access to all confidential material in the UAC and
Unilever archives and complete freedom in what he wrote. The book
is not intended to be primarily a company history but uses the UAC
as a focal point for detailed study of how the role of foreign
merchant capital changed in response to economic and political
developments in Black Africa during this critical half century.
