Trade Review
“Important and highly recommendable, not only for the handful of African historical demographers, but more generally for all scholars of European colonialism in Africa and population politics worldwide.” * H-Soz-u-Kult *
“A very exciting collection of essays that advances and makes a contribution to the field and knowledge in general. It is original, of its genre it is state–of–the–art, and provocative.”
“Close examinations of African reactions and interactions with these [labor and reproduction] policies allow the authors to reveal a great deal about the experience of Africans during the colonial era.” * Journal of Social History *
“The collection revitalizes important debates on African demographic history, which have languished since the 1990s…. Highly recommended.” * Choice *
