Abstract

"This paper looks at the origins and development of dry season labour migration from Sokoto in north-western Nigeria, a migratory system which is generally accepted as being a product of colonialism. The argument takes the opening years of colonial rule in Sokoto and tries to uncover the nature and type of migration which obtained at this time. It is suggested that early migration was influenced by the economy of the central Sudan of the late nineteenth century, and there was an overlap, rather than a sharp break, between pre-colonial and colonial economies." The changes that occurred in the 1930s are also analyzed. (summary in FRE)

“这篇论文着眼于尼日利亚西北部索科托旱季劳动力移民的起源和发展，这是一种普遍被认为是殖民主义产物的移民制度。本文以索科托殖民统治开始的几年为背景，试图揭示当时移民的性质和类型。这表明，早期移民受到19世纪晚期苏丹中部经济的影响，在前殖民和殖民经济之间存在重叠，而不是急剧断裂。”文章还分析了20世纪30年代发生的变化。(FRE摘要)

Editorial policy encourages an interdisciplinary approach, involving humanities, social sciences, and environmental sciences. Africa aims to give increased attention to African production of knowledge, highlighting the work of local African thinkers and writers, emerging social and cultural trends ''on the ground'', and links between local and national levels of society. At the same time, it maintains its commitment to the theoretically informed analysis of the realities of Africa''s own cultural categories. Each issue contains six or seven major articles, arranged thematically, extensive review essays and substantial book reviews. Special issues are published annually.
