Abstract
This study examines the Yoruba society within the context of the nineteenth century’s global historical transitions. Within the broad and avalanche historical milestones of the Yoruba people in the course of the century, the study concentrates on the process of the abolition of the Slave Trade and its impacts on the Yoruba economy. In line with this, the paper interrogates the dynamics of the slave trade abolition processes vis-a-vis the socio-political landscapes of Yoruba land. It further examines how the phenomenon of slave trade abolition contributed to the changing nature of Yoruba peoples’ economic activities, particularly within the confine of the nineteenth century. The paper submits that the nature of the Yoruba economy was actually affected by the slave trade abolition phenomenon, particularly leading to the colonisation of the economy of Yoruba nation. The paper further opines that the economy of Yoruba became massively integrated into the international capitalist economic enclave from this period onward. In order to unravel its objectives and investigations, the paper adopts historical and analytical approaches, and relies heavily on extant literatures to justify its submissions.
