Native Races and Their Rulers; Sketches and Studies of Official Life and Administrative Problems in Nigeria

"Native Races and Their Rulers" offers a fascinating glimpse into the administrative and social dynamics of early 20th-century Nigeria under British colonial rule. Charles Lindsay Temple, drawing on his extensive experience as an official, provides sketches and studies of official life intertwined with the challenges of governance.

The book delves into the complexities of interacting with and administering the diverse 'native races,' presenting insights into their customs, social structures, and leadership. Temple's work serves as a valuable historical document, capturing the perspectives and approaches of the colonial administration of the era, while also raising questions about the impact of colonialism on Nigerian society. This study remains relevant for those interested in the history of colonialism, African studies, and the dynamics of cross-cultural administration.
