520    This study is the first of its kind to examine the history
       and organization of trans-Saharan trade in western Africa 
       using original source material. It documents the internal 
       dynamics of a trade network system based on a case study 
       of 'Berber' traders from the Wād Nūn region, who 
       specialized in outfitting camel caravans in the nineteenth
       century. Through an examination of contracts, 
       correspondence, fatwas and interviews with retired 
       caravaners, Professor Lydon shows how traders used their 
       literacy skills in Arabic and how they had recourse to 
       experts of Islamic law to regulate their long-distance 
       transactions. The book also examines the strategies 
       devised by women to participate in caravan trade. By 
       embracing a continental approach, this study bridges the 
       divide between West African and North African studies. The
       work will be of interest to historians of Africa, the 
       Middle East, and the world and to scholars of long-
       distance trade, Muslim societies and Islamic law.
