Reviews

Plantation Slavery in the Sokoto Caliphate: A Historical and Comparative Study presents a refreshingly new argument that privileges the role of political power, slaves' agency, and aristocratic politics over economic and social logics in birthing, sustaining, and destabilizing slave systems. This paradigm is especially compelling for polities such as the Sokoto caliphate, where the practice of slavery was integral to political transactions and to the process by which aristocrats earned and maintained status. Mohammed Bashir Salau's work blazes a new trail for the field. --Moses Ochonu, Vanderbilt University
