Current Research
My current research includes an examination, on the one hand, of the social, political and economic implications in the first half of the 19th century in the Lower Niger & Niger Delta communities of West Africa of the conjunction between rural producers and marketers of palm oil, and on the other, the new (global) international economic demands & influences, together with its accompanying diplomatic and political impulses that began to emanate from industrialized capitalist Europe. I am also looking at the dynamics involved in the relationship between Christian missionary organizations and their rural (and other) targets in West Africa during the same period.
