Nigeria - Hardcover
by Toyin Falola (Author), Bukola Oyeniyi (Author)
Written by leading experts in African studies, this broad introduction to Nigeria follows the history of the republic from the early period to the present day.
As Africa's most populated country and major world exporter of oil, Nigeria is a nation with considerable international importance--a role that is hampered by its economic underdevelopment and political instability. This book examines all major aspects of Nigeria's geography, politics, and culture, addressing the area's current attempts at building a strong nation, developing a robust economy, and stabilizing its domestic affairs. Perfect for students of African history, geography, anthropology, and political science, this guidebook provides an overview and history of Nigeria from the early period to contemporary times. Chapters focus on each region in the country; the government, economy and culture of Nigeria; the challenges and problems Nigerians face since the country's independence; and topics affecting everyday life, including music, food, etiquette, gender roles, and marriage.Toyin Falola, PhD, is professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin.
Bukola Adeyemi Oyeniyi is assistant professor of African history at Missouri State University, Springfield, MO.
