Originally published in 1957 this volume deals with the issue of
large scale immigration into Freetown, Sierra Leone from the rural
areas in the 1950s and the problems which arose as a result. It
analyzes the way traditional social systems had to adjust to the
demands of urban life and charts the growth of Freetown from its
foundation in the 18th Century. The ethnic composition of its
population and the character of the rural districts from which the
migrants come are also discussed, along with the motives for
migration, the nature of housing and employment.
