The book is divided into 15 Chapters, longest book on an African scholar, and creatively published by Pan-African University Press (PAUP). Do please read below, a glimpse of the Preface and the TOC.

___________________________________________________________________

This, indeed, is not the book I set out to write! Instead, my original plan included a full-blown biography, which was to be located as well as limited in time and place. Toward that end, I had already collected the requisite data to relate the past of Professor Ogbu Kalu's place of origin, his experiences, and education, coupled with his unfolding scholarship that Africa and the world came to know. It was equally framed as a project on place and identity —thus, how the spaces we inhabit influence what we write — and how what we write reshapes our geographic spaces.

This is a great feat and an unquantifiable contribution to scholarship on African Studies. I wish Professor Falola long life and good health.
