Slavery and Colonial Rule in Africa Miers, Suzanne

This book presents new case studies which enhance our understanding of the process of abolition at the grass-roots level. Some are on areas where there has been little research, such as the German colonies and the Algerian Sahara; others throw new light on questions already debated, such as emancipation on the Godl Coast, or discuss the impact of abolition on particular groups of slvaes, such as royal slaves in Nigeria, and concubines in Morocco.
