Mama Lucy lives happily in Njoku, on the slopes of Mount Cameroon, with her sons Kauk and Negu. On a rainy day in the month of August, Kauk chases a fox down to a nearby agricultural estate. There he meets a gentleman who helps him to achieve great success as a trader in a nearby town. Kauk's business expands so fast that he brings Negu down to work for him. Negu's excitement quickly turns to resentment: he feels cheated, humiliated, and enslaved. A frightful dream finally compels Kauk to send his embittered brother back to the village. To take advantage of a new trend in the market town, Kauk goes back to the village too and takes over the family land. There is nothing the weakened and helpless Negu can do to stop his powerful brother. Kauk is later forced to move out of the village when Negu and his friends scheme against him. Negu's joy as owner of his brother's former farm is short-lived as he runs into disaster. At the end, even the affluent Kauk cannot stand.

Thomas Princen examines where mediation fits in the larger realm of diplomatic practice, going beyond the usual state-centric focus to account for the mediating activities of a wide range of actors-from superpowers to small states, from international organizations to nongovernmental groups. Originally published in 1992. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
New Perspectives on the Nigeria-Biafra War: No Victor, No Vanquished analyzes the continued impact of the Nigeria-Biafra war on the Igbo, the failure of the reconstruction and reconciliation effort in the post-war period, and the politics of exclusion of the memory of the war in public discourse in Nigeria. Furthermore, New Perspectives on the Nigeria-Biafra War explores the resilience of the Igbo people and the different strategies they have employed to preserve the history and memory of Biafra. The contributors argue that the war had important consequences for the socio-political developments in the post-war period, ushering in two differing ideologies: a paternalistic ideology of “co-option” of the Igbo by the Nigerian state, under the false premise of ‘No Victor, No Vanquished,” and the Igbo commitment to self-preservation on the other.
