Book Description
Combining demography, history, and sociology, this book offers a new methodology for the study of African fertility and a new definition of the role of household demography in agrarian economies. It provides a useful perspective on the ways in which human reproduction both reflects upon and reacts with the reproduction trends of society and economy in coastal Tanzania. Part I asserts a political economy of changing fertility; Part II studies the implications of demographic patterns for people's work-loads and economic fortunes at the individual and household levels.

Author Bio
I'm an historian of Britain and its wider world, and I joined the University of Alabama in the fall of 2017.
To Begin the World Over Again, a global history of the American Revolution, was published in October 2019. The Conquest of Death, my first book, came out with Yale in June 2017.
?
Though my specialty is the social history of the law in the British empire, my broader interests include the history of crime and violence; gender, ethnicity, and immigration in early modern Europe and the Americas; comparative legal history; and the history of institutions, administration, and state formation.
