This book bridges gaps in the historical record of the lived experience of the people of Lagos. It utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to reconstruct the urban history of Lagos and with thick descriptions of how Lagosians across social class, gender, location, ethnicity and even race negotiated their livelihoods in the city.
Livelihood in Colonial Lagos initiates a new line of historical investigation into colonial urban culture, focused on the intersections between daily living and the urban experience. It examines the livelihood challenges that Africans faced between 1861 and 1960 due to the urban planning and development policies of the British government in colonial Lagos. It historicizes the urban livelihood strategies in the informal sector, and it explores how the flow of social capital mitigated the challenges faced by both migrants to and indigenes of Lagos in that time period. Monsuru Muritala illuminates the economic and social history of Lagos with special emphasis on the coping mechanisms adopted by the people under colonial rule.
