内容説明

This history of the Ngwa-Igbo of southeastern Nigeria discusses a variety of themes such as the origins of the Ngwa, their sociopolitical organization, and the organization of local and regional trade networks. The author explores the dominant role the Okonko society and Aro oracular specialists played during the overseas trade, and uses available evidence to question some existing views on the slave trade and legitimate commerce. He also examines colonialism, the roots of the Aba Women's Revolt, and devotes a chapter to analyzing developments since Nigerian independence, ranging from the civil war to an insider's account of events in Aba province during Biafra. The concluding chapter summarizes issues raised in the book, and offers solutions to current social and economic problems facing the Ngwa and other Nigerian peoples.
