Precolonial Nigeria : essays in honor of Toyin Falola

Toyin Falola (Honoree), Akinwumi Ogundiran (Editor)
"This collection of original essays examines different aspects of historical experience in Nigeria and the adjacent regions from the beginning of agricultural communities about 6,000 B.C. to the eve of colonial rule in the mid-nineteenth century. The volume is the first comprehensive book on the different approaches and themes in Nigeria's pre-colonial history, and it is informed throughout by interdisciplinary approaches that integrate archaeological data with oral historical narratives, historical ethnography, material culture, and documentary sources"-- Provided by publisher
