MYTH, HISTORY AND SOCIETY
The Collected Works of Adiele Afigbo

Edited by Toyin Falola

The basic idea in this book is that Nigerian historians, indeed historians of Africa, have from the birth of the new African historiography seen and pursued historical studies and historical writing as part of the larger effort to create, consolidate and run modern and modernizing states in Africa. It is this larger process that Professor Adiele Afigbo refers to as statecraft.

NEW SUDAN IN THE MAKING?
Essays on a Nation in Painful Search of Itself

Edited by Francis M. Deng

“New Sudan” is a concept for radically reforming Sudan’s governance system by addressing the national identity crisis that has been responsible for the wars, the instability and the failure of the national building project that have afflicted the country since independence. The gist of the crisis is that the dominant Arab group, which is in fact an African Arab hybrid and a minority, perceives the country in its image as an Arab-Islamic nation. This inevitably discriminates against the non-Arab and non-Moslem

NIGERIAN CITIES

Edited by Toyin Falola and Steve Salm

The growth of Nigeria’s urban population has been phenomenal, with Lagos abeing one of the fastest growing cities in the world. Rapid growth also brings problems, notably the shortage of social amenities, crime and violence. Drawing on specific examples from Lagos, Abeokuta, and Kano, among others, the book examines various issues on the management of modern Nigerian cities. The movement of peoples and goods, improving sanitation, and minimizing ethnic tension in the cities engage readers in the volume.

NIGERIAN HISTORY, POLITICS AND AFFAIRS
The Collected Essays of Adiele Afigbo

Edited by Toyin Falola

These essays attempt to focus the light of history on Nigeria, Nigerians and their contemporary condition and thus to help show the way forward. The root idea here is that fundamental to all historical works – that when the mind interacts with the past or facts of the past, the result is something like a torchlight whose beam is focused on the present, thus enabling us to achieve a better understanding of the problems which face us and to attempt a rational solution to them. Afigbo has probed deep into Nigeria’s past, bringing out all the facets, all the elements, and all the issues that are necessary to improve the present.

NIGERIAN POLITICAL PARTIES

by Richard L. Sklar

Political Parties in Nigeria’s current constitutional order, known as the Fourth Republic, are products of the nation’s emancipation from military rule, not once, but twice since the demise of the First Republic in 1966. Yet, as Professor Sklar explains in his new introduction for this edition, the defining characteristics of the principal political parties of today have been shaped by the intellectual origins of the independence-era parties and their successors...

OBAFEMI AWOLOWO AND THE MAKING OF REMO
The Local Politics of a Nigerian Nationalist

Insa Nolte

This book examines the evolution of a distinctive Yoruba community, Remo, and the central role played in this process by the Remo-born nationalist and Yoruba leader Obafemi Awolowo (1909–87). Based on a subtle analysis of local-level politics, this book argues that traditional and modern participatory structures play an important role both in Yoruba politics and in the African postcolonial state. At the same time, its focus on Awolowo makes an important contribution to the scholarly debate on one of Nigeria’s most important politicians

OLAUDAH EQUIANO AND THE IGBO WORLD
History, Society, and Atlantic Diaspora Connections

Edited by Chima J. Korieh

Olaudah Equiano and the Igbo World examines aspects of the history, society and Atlantic Diaspora connection of the Igbo people of the Bight of Biafra hinterland. The large presence of the Igbo in the Americas and the role of enslaved Africans of Igbo origin were important in shaping the larger history of slavery, patterns of enslavement, and new identity formations in the Americas. In this regard, the intellectual contribution of this most famous Igbo son, Olaudah Equiano, to discourses on the history of slavery in the Americas is of great

ON THE MORNING TIDE
African Americans, History and Methodology in the Historical Ebb and Flow of Hudson River Society

by A. J. Williams-Myers

On the Morning Tide, like the author’s earlier book, Long Hammering, continues the challenge of creating a more accurate image of the African American in the history of New York. Using an array of primary and secondary sources, including diary and oral recordings to carefully examine the African American presence in New York from the early 17th century through the late 20th century, the author argues convincingly for a more inclusive history, one that contains a substantially improved image of the African American community.
