| Abstract: | An attempt to understand the historical formation of that part of African law known as customary law. The author's interest is in the African agency in making the customary law in interaction with British institutions, rather than in the context of the colonial legal system. The subject of law is reunited with the economic, social and political history of colonialism in the two countries. |
