The Imposition of Colonial Rule and the Foundations of a New Economy in Esanland, 1900-1960.
(Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida University, 2014-11-04) Hadizat Audu Salihu; Dawood Omolumen Egbefo
This work is concerned with the imposition of British colonial rule and the foundations of a new Economy in Esanland which transformed the society economically in an extremely narrow, manner that revolved around the particular interests of colonialism. The transformation, it must be noted, did not reproduce Esan society in the mirrow image of Western European. Although colonialism introduced some elements of capitalism into the society, the capitalist mode of production as a system was not introduced and beside it failed to solve many of the problems that had inhibited pre-colonial economic growth in Esan society, it even created new set of difficulties. The work focused on the colonial economy in Esanland with a view to understanding some elements of the colonial economic landscape which are still evident presently.
