The Oxford Handbook of Nigerian History

Toyin Falola and Matthew Heaton

Oxford Handbooks

  • Thirty-six accessible overviews covering the history of Nigeria, from prehistorical times to the 21st century
  • Decenters the colonial era, placing greater emphasis on pre-colonial and post-independence histories
  • Cutting edge interpretations and analysis of key themes from highly respected scholars in a single, forward-facing volume

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Oxford Handbook of Nigerian History provides a comprehensive history of Africa's most populous and most rapidly developing country. Rather than centering the rise of the nation-state, the Handbook reads the narrative of national politics alongside deeper histories of political and social organization, as well as in relation to competing influences on modern identity formation and inter-group relationships, such as ethnic and religious communities, economic partnerships, and immigrant and diasporic cultures.

Another bold and historic exertion in the "Decolonisation" of knowledge in Africa Project.
Great effort.
