The relationships between warriors, merchants, and slaves took many forms in precolonial Africa, but almost always those relationships were central to the regional political economy and the structure and performance of the economy. This is a study of warriors, merchants, and slaves in three successive states in the Middle Niger valley of what is now the Republic of Mali: the Segu Bambara state, the Umarian state, and the French colonial state. Although this study does not claim to exhaust the range of possible variations in the relationships between the groups as they vied for power, accumulation, and autonomy, it does seek to identify the significant trends and explain how the changing relationships affected the structure of the successive states and the performance of the economy over a span of two hundred years.
