The book is written by Moses E. Ochonu and explores how these aristocrats leveraged their travel to the heart of the empire to reinforce their positions as imperial cultural brokers and to translate and domesticate imperial modernity in a predominantly Muslim society. The book reveals a unique colonial sensibility that complements rather than contradicts the traditional perspectives of less privileged Africans toward colonialism. Emirs in London was named in the Brittle Paper 100 Notable African Books of 2022 list.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 572g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780253059154\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moses E.
