Colonization, Commerce, and Entrepreneurship in Nigeria: The Western Delta, 1914-1960 by Adeline Apena (Hardback, 1997)

The study of the colonial impact continues to provoke scholarly research. This book is a socio-ecomic study which examines the social and ecomic consequences of the colonial ecomy on the people and society of the Western Delta of Nigeria. It makes a remarkable contribution to the study of colonial ecomy and its effects through a multi- and cross-disciplinary approach. It breaks new grounds and explores new dimensions which include a gender-based analysis of the growth of indigeus entrepreneurs and a comparative discussion of their contribution to the modernization of their communities. This distinguishes it from earlier works which overlook such crucial themes. In addition to its unique methodology, this book throws new insights into the question of the colonial ecomy.
