I wish to thank Professor Yaya Aliyu, Director, Institute of Administration, Ahmadu Bello University. Given that this is part of a larger, collaborative attempt to explain agrarian transformation in northern Nigeria, special thanks go in particular to Bob Shenton and Mike Watts, and also to Richard Palmer‐Jones, Gavin Williams, Bill Freund, Jay Jackson and Sam Jackson. In addition I thank Fred Cooper for his comments. Finally, I am indebted to Marcia Wright and Robert Murphy.
