"Affairs of West Africa" by E. D. Morel is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the complex racial, political, and commercial issues surrounding British administration in West Africa during the era of colonial expansion. Morel presents an analysis of the British trade dynamics with the region, highlighting its significance and the challenges posed by competing European powers, particularly in the context of the economic prospects of West Africa. The opening of the text introduces the reader to the author's intention to address the multifaceted problems facing West Africa amidst its administration by various European powers. Morel expresses a commitment to presenting an honest depiction of the situation, emphasizing that he has no vested commercial interests in the region. He sets the stage for a detailed exploration of Britain's commercial engagements, particularly through statistical analysis of trade patterns, which frames the narrative of West Africa as both a crucial trading partner and a territory with vast untapped resources. The beginning positions the book as a significant discourse on colonialism, presenting a blend of personal observation and factual data to shed light on the pressing issues of the time.
