Slow Death for Slavery by Paul E Lovejoy
This book examines the gradual 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. The authors have written a thoughtful and provocative book which raises doubts over the moral legitimacy of both the Sokoto Caliphate and the colonial state. They chart the development of British colonial policy towards resolving the dilemma of slavery and how to end it.-

From Slavery to Aid
'Ending slavery in a Muslim society as large and complex as northern Nigeria was not the simple event it is often assumed to be, but a contentious, often devious process that took over thirty years to completeIn this pioneering study Professors Lovejoy and Hogendorn dissect that process in great detail. They reveal, as never before, the debates and subtle shifts in implementing colonial policies on slavery, and in doing so illuminate as well a crucial, yet still hidden aspect of Nigerian social history. It is thus a work of real importance, one that alters our understanding of early twentieth-century Nigeria and shows how much we need a series of further such detailed studies, both locally and for elsewhere in Africa.'
