Heywood's book can be read as a companion volume to the collections of essays produced by scholars associated with the UNESCO-sponsored Nigerian Hinterland Project at York University in Toronto, now part of the Harriet Tubman Resource Centre on the African Diaspora (http://www.yorku.ca/nhp), which focus primarily on West Africans. See, for example, Paul E. Lovejoy, ed., Identity in the Shadow of Slavery (London: Continuum, 2000) and Kristin Mann and Edna G.
