Dahomey has played an active role in the world economy throughout the era of mercantile and industrial capitalism, beginning as an exporter of slaves and becoming an exporter of plain oil and palm kernels. This book integrates into a single framework the pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial economic history of Dahomey.
