This book examines the decline of slavery in Northern Nigeria
during the first forty years of colonial rule. At the time of the
British conquest, the Sokoto Caliphate was one of the largest slave
societies in modern history. Rather than emancipate slaves, the
colonial state abolished the legal status of slavery, encouraging
them to buy their freedom. Many were unable to do so, and slavery
was not finally abolished until l936. The authors have written a
provocative book, raising doubts over the moral legitimacy of both
the Sokoto Caliphate and the colonial state.
