- This book is based on 15 years of research, during which Rossi spent about four years in the Ader region of Niger, learning Hausa and collecting an archive of over 200 testimonies, many by representatives of marginalized slave descendants. The book also draws on extensive archival research in Niger, Senegal, and France. This protracted investment in in-depth primary research on the social history of Ader was an essential basis for the book's contribution to scholarly debates on the legacies of slavery and impacts of aid in contemporary Africa.
