A gendered social history of marriage.

This work explores how both men and women adapted, negotiated and contested their rights and duties in marriage during a period of socio-political upheaval in 20th-century Niger, a period which saw the advent and demise of colonial rule, the abolition of slavery and the rise of Islam.

Unpredictable interventions - emancipating slaves and regulating marriage; mediating marriage - state intrusion and local dispute settlement; negotiating land and labour in a shifting agricultural economy; from migrant to Mai Gida; women's worth and wedding gift exchange; wealth and learning - discourses on prosperity and domesticity; coping with conflicting models - nurturing ties, maintaining ambiguity, and opting out; of prostitutes - the public and politics.
