Innovative study of the relations of the peoples of West Africa in
the precolonial period. Covering a period of some 400 to 500 years
up to the last decades of the nineteenth century, the author takes
a wide range of examples from those societies whose levels of
political organisation warrant the term 'states'. The arrangements
for the exercise of power within these varied from states where one
man or an oligarchy made decisions about war and peace to states
where power was diffused between members of the community. North
America: University of Wisconsin Press
