In this study of salt production and trade, Professor Lovejoy
examines the interaction between ecology, technology and social
structure as a means of analysing the organisation of the salt
industry of the Sokoto Caliphate and Borno. By concentrating on the
late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Lovejoy is able to
establish a base-line from which to interpret earlier changes in
the salt trade and thereby assess the impact of politics and
economy on the history of the trade. By the end of the nineteenth
century, production depended upon a combination of slavery, free
migrant peasants, and workers from the haddad artisan caste. A
complex marketing network serviced the various salines, although
this network was intimately connected with the distribution of
other commodities, especially textiles, grain and livestock. An
examination of this marketing system reveals patterns of
immigration and social advancement that are important in
understanding the social history of the central Sudan.
