Book Synopsis Igbo Women and Economic Transformation in Southeastern Nigeria, 1900-1960 by : Gloria Chuku
Download or read book Igbo Women and Economic Transformation in Southeastern Nigeria, 1900-1960 written by Gloria Chuku. This book was released on 2005. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extrait de amazon.com : "Among Africanists and feminists, the Igbo-speaking women of southeastern Nigeria are well known for their history of anti-colonial activism which was most demonstrated in the 1929 War against British Colonialism. Perplexed by the magnitude of the Women's War, the colonial government commissioned anthropologists/ethnographers to study the Igbo political system and the place of women in Igbo society. The primary motive was to have a better understanding of the Igbo in order to avoid a repeat of the Women's War. This study will analyze the complexity and flexibility of gender relations in Igbo society with emphasis on such major cultural zones as the Anioma, the Ngwa, the Onitsha, the Nsukka, and the Aro."

Book Synopsis The Lower Niger Bronzes by : Philip M. Peek
Download or read book The Lower Niger Bronzes written by Philip M. Peek. This book was released on 2020-07-27. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates that copper-alloy casting was widespread in southern Nigeria and has been practiced for at least a millennium. Philip M. Peek’s research provides a critical context for the better-known casting traditions of Igbo-Ukwu, Ife, and Benin. Both the necessary ores and casting skills were widely available, contrary to previous scholarly assumptions. The majority of the Lower Niger Bronzes, which we know number in the thousands, are of subjects not found elsewhere, such as leopard skull replicas, grotesque bell heads, ritual objects, and humanoid figures. Important puzzle pieces are now in place to permit a more complete reconstruction of southern Nigerian history. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, African studies, African history, and anthropology.
