Emirs in London recounts how Northern Nigerian Muslim aristocrats
who traveled to Britain between 1920 and Nigerian independence in
1960 relayed that experience to the Northern Nigerian people. Moses
E. Ochonu shows how rather than simply serving as puppets and
mouthpieces of the British Empire, these aristocrats leveraged
their travel to the heart of the empire to reinforce their
positions as imperial cultural brokers, and to translate and
domesticate imperial modernity in a predominantly Muslim society.
Emirs in London explores how, through their experiences visiting
the heart of the British Empire, Northern Nigerian aristocrats were
enabled to define themselves within the framework of the empire. In
doing so, the book reveals a unique colonial sensibility that
complements rather than contradicts the traditional perspectives of
less privileged Africans toward colonialism.
