This dissertation is a study of urban land in a colonial Nigerian city. It investigates the history and politics of urban land, land tenure, land use and access to land, and their intersections with the growth of urbanization in the late nineteenth and twentieth century eastern Nigeria. The incorporation of Africa into international capitalist economy, the imposition of colonial rule, and the land and urban policies of the colonial state altered the uses and meaning of land in modern Nigeria towns and cities. This study explores these developments in the Igbo city of Onitsha, and looks at how Africans responded to these changes. The study also examines the struggles for access to and control of urban land in colonial Onitsha---struggles that started with the commercialization of land in the nineteenth century---and analyzes what these struggles tell us about shifts in power, wealth, accumulation and identity in modern Africa. The struggles intensified as land became scarce and more lucrative, and as urban population increased and became more diversified. Finally, the study concludes by linking the historical development of land and social change with the contemporary urban problems in Nigeria. Since land management is very critical to fast growing African cities, and indeed, central to most modern African urban crises, especially housing and poverty, this dissertation will contribute to a clearer understanding of the issues surrounding urban land in Africa.Subjects--Topical Terms:
