To understand why, Robin Phylisia Chapdelaine explores child trafficking, pawning, and marriages in Nigeria's Bight of Biafra, and the ways in which British colonial authorities and Igbo, Ibibio, Efik, and Ijaw populations mobilized children's labor during the early twentieth century. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources that include oral interviews, British and Nigerian archival materials, newspaper holdings, and missionary and anthropological accounts, Chapdelaine argues that slavery's endurance can only be understood when we fully examine "the social economy of a child"-the broader commercial, domestic, and reproductive contexts in which children are economic vehicles. The Persistence of Slavery provides an invaluable investigation into the origins of modern slavery and early efforts to combat it, locating this practice in the political, social, and economic changes that occurred as a result of British colonialism and its lingering effects, which perpetuate child trafficking in Nigeria today"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Child trafficking $z Nigeria $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Child trafficking $x History $z Nigeria $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Child slaves $z Nigeria $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Child marriage $z Nigeria $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Child marriage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854482 650 7 $a Child slaves. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00854675 650 7 $a Child trafficking. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01748734 651 7 $a Nigeria. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205229 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Childhoods: interdisciplinary perspectives on children and youth. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012606.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D2C23DCFFE911EBB6EAFDEE22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
