- This 114,000-word book covered eight years, with ethnography from across the previous fifteen years feeding into it. It was supported by Membership in the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton and a senior fellowship from the Centre for Global Cooperation Research. C. 4,000 words are included in my article in the Journal of West African History, about the colonial-era history of the term. This book develops a new approach to conceptualizing and historicizing corruption. It is based on extensive archival research (in Hausa and English) across Nigeria and the UK, systematic newspaper research, and long-term ethnography.
