Etinan Village Headship Dispute
There has been a long standing dispute that kept resurfacing at the time of installation of a new successor to the dead ruler in Etinan, an ancient town located inland along the coast of the Atlantic in the southeastern part of Nigeria in West Africa. The disputing families, Nung Otu Oyo and Nung Umo Etukudo had on two occasions in 1918 (between Akpan Osukpong and Udo Ema), and in 1947 (between Jonah Akpan Nsek and Harry Inyang Etuk) disputed about whose right it was to rule Etinan. The wisdom of the aged, the maturity and peaceful nature of the Etinan people are revealed in the documented session proceedings in this book. It has unravelled in depth history of this small community which is now the headquarters of Etinan Local Government Area in Akwa Ibom State in Nigeria.
African Voices on Slavery and the Slave Trade: Volume 1, The Sources
Though the history of slavery is a central topic for African, Atlantic world and world history, most of the sources presenting research in this area are European in origin. To cast light on African perspectives, and on the point of view of enslaved men and women, this group of top Africanist scholars has examined both conventional historical sources (such as European travel accounts, colonial documents, court cases, and missionary records) and less-explored sources of information (such as folklore, oral traditions, songs and proverbs, life histories collected by missionaries and colonial officials, correspondence in Arabic, and consular and admiralty interviews with runaway slaves). Each source has a short introduction highlighting its significance and orienting the reader. This first of two volumes provides students and scholars with a trove of African sources for studying African slavery and the slave trade.
