Anioma
The subject is the history since the 10th century A.D. of a people of Nigeria who began to reclaim their usurped identity in the 1970s. In a broader context, the study illustrates how certain decentralized (or small-scale) African societies functioned in precolonial periods, how their settlements grew from a few individuals to tens of thousands of
Traditions of Igbo Origin
This fascinating study represents the first major historical analysis of the traditions of Igbo Origin. John Oriji uses evidence derived from oral traditions, archival records, works of various researchers and other sources to provide a rare insight into the roots of the diverse population movements that have taken place in Igboland over time. He also uses the Igbo example to contribute to the debate on the Bantu migrations and the genesis of mankind, agriculture and iron technology in the West African sub-region.
Adventures of Ojemba
Adventures of Ojemba is the story of the Igbo people. In contrast to many historical narratives, Dr. Chukwuma J. Obiagwu chooses to avoid dwelling on any particular issue in history and it's effect on the Igbo people. Rather, he provides the readers with a general overview of their culture, traditions, habits, and general life. Tracing the historical context and their beginnings, this book addresses major events faced by these people. It is inevitable that basic questions such as "who are the Igbo people?" provoke a plethora of theories, explanations, and questions. This study provides clear insight on what distinguishes the Igbo people from other neighboring peoples. It is a supplement to Dr. Elizabeth Isichie's history text, The History of Igbo People, and compliments this text by providing more probable answers to the origins of these people. Dr. Obiagwu's main theory proposes that the Igbo people are descendant of the black Jewish population. A common view of historians throughout time, Obiagwu thoroughly develops this argument through his assessment of the aspects of the Igbo people's lives.
Igbo History and Society
A stimulating and original account of the Igbo of Eastern Nigeria from ancient times to the present, arranged into chapters paying attention to critical issues and themes. Professor Afigbo, a pre-eminent scholar of the Igbo who lived and taught among them for more than 40 years, has collected his experiences and scholarship into a synthesised historiography of the Igbo and their place in the African diaspora.
Igbo in the Atlantic World
The Igbo are one of the most populous ethnic groups in Nigeria and are perhaps best known and celebrated in the work of Chinua Achebe. In this landmark collection on Igbo society and arts, Toyin Falola and Raphael Chijioke Njoku have compiled a detailed and innovative examination of the Igbo experience in Africa and in the diaspora. Focusing on institutions and cultural practices, the volume covers the enslavement, middle passage, and American experience of the Igbo as well as their return to Africa and aspects of Igbo language, society, and cultural arts. By employing a variety of disciplinary perspectives, this volume presents a comprehensive view of how the Igbo were integrated into the Atlantic world through the slave trade and slavery, the transformations of Igbo identities and culture, and the strategies for resistance employed by the Igbo in the New World. Moving beyond descriptions of generic African experiences, this collection includes 21 essays by prominent scholars throughout the world.
Political Organization in Nigeria since the Late Stone Age
Although the Igbo constitute one of the largest ethnic nationalities of Nigeria and the West African sub-region, little is known about their political history before the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. This book is a pioneer study of the broad changes Igbo political systems have undergone since the prehistoric period.
The Value of Human Dignity. A Socio-cultural Approach to Value Crisis among Igbo People of Nigeria
Where today is a specific, original and stable basis for a Political order to be found? What does the human dignity mean in the midst of the general crises of values? In the face of the ambivalent achievements of modernity and enlightenment, do the values of Christianity which until now have been regarded as the objective norm fail in its contact with the primal culture and the culture of the African communities? Where in this classes are the weakening and strengthening and specific challenges of this African People? This field of conflict must not only be described, but above all to ask about new opportunities to get out of the crisis of the value of human dignity in the Igbo society of Southeastern Nigeria. Ezenwas work seeks and aids understanding, using the facility of examining the subject of dignity in Igbo culture to throw light that casts much farther than the subject matter, begging for further inquiry into other complementary aspects of the culture. In other to achieve this, interdisciplinary research was needed.
