This book brings together interesting perspectives on the socio-economic history of Nigeria: livestock management, railway historiography, coal industry, tourism industry, pre-colonial trade, family firms, political restructuring and other germane issues. All these are deftly analysed to expose not only continuities with the past but also points of departure and twenty-first century novelties. This will remain a major contribution to the literature on Nigeria’s economic history for a long time. -- Olufunke Adeboye, University of Lagos In this captivating volume, its editors and erudite scholars, Tokunbo Ayoola and Ayodeji Olukoju, have produced a compendium impressively researched, beautifully written, and rich in information on pertinent issues on twentieth century Nigeria’s socio-political and economic history. This book, with contributions from leading scholars, is a stunningly provocative and revelatory intellectual work, one that will compel students, scholars, and policymakers, to reassess the Nigerian experience in the last century towards a better understanding of the contemporary state. -- Adebayo Oyebade, Tennessee State University
