ANTHROPOLOGY

Culture and Society in Nigeria: Traditions, Gender Relations and Political Economy / Akin

Alao & Tunde Babawale (Editors)Lagos: Concept Publications Limited, 2010

ISBN-13: 9789784831055$ 39.50

Nigeria is currently faced with a crisis of identity arising from the destruction of her cultural

heritage, bastardization of her traditions and reckless distortion of her values. There is anurgent need, more than ever before, to arrest the drift to national suicide by making an

academic recourse to the enduring values of culture in national development and socio-political stability.

This book, in two volumes, examines the intersection of society and culture in Nigeria to

provide a basis for a better understanding of the peculiarities and similarities of culturaltraditions of the various Nigerian Groups. It provides refreshing insights into traditions

about origin, patterns of migrations and settlements and importantly about the nature and

character of intergroup relations before the imposition of colonial rule. Conscious of thepatriotic role of history in any human formation, the book explores aspects of Nigerianhistory and culture to make a strong case for the relevance of cultural studies in laying a

solid foundation for state and nation-building in post-imperial Nigeria.http://www.marymartin.com/web?pid=119585

Oral Traditions in Black and African Culture / Adegboyega Ajayi & Samuel Idowu Fabarebo(Editors)

Lagos: Concept Publications Limited, 2009xix. 524p. ; 22cm.

ISBN-13: 9789788406167$ 45.00

The pervasive misconception of Africans as a people without a historical, cultural and

educational past made it expedient for concerned African scholars to come together to

disprove that notion. Their argument is that, although unwritten, oral traditions carried onsince pre-literate times represent repertoires of authentic beliefs and practices of African

people.This book, Oral Traditions in Black and African Culture is the product of a four-day

international collaborative conference on African culture jointly organized by the Centre forBlack and African Arts and Civilization (CBAAC) and Adeyemi College of Education (ACE),

Ondo in December 2008

It is a bold attempt at not only understanding several aspects of African oral traditionsbut also drawing attention to the urgent need to save our dying cultural legacy.

Gender in Yoruba Oral Traditions / Oyeronke OlademoLagos: Concept Publications Limited, 2009

viii. 124p. ; 22cm.ISBN-13: 9789788406242

$ 15.00

For about three decades now, feminist agitations over the status and role of women,especially in Western countries, have pushed gender issues to the front burner in academicdiscourse. In African countries, however, the story is different.

This book, based on a microcosm of the African race the Yoruba, whom the authordescribes as arguably the most researched ethnic group in Africa, discusses the issue of

gender in Yoruba oral literature, focusing on the contents of identified genres and how thesecontents are determined by the nature of the context that produced them. These identified

genres are analyzed under various thematic components such as timing, social relations

economics, political engagements maintaining balance/ complementarity, which representthe other realms of human activity that hinge on gender theory and practice among the

Yoruba.It is recommended for gender activists, students and researchers in the social sciences

as well as in language and linguistics.

There is a benevolent school of thought that the flame of anti-corruption never died butmerely quivered perilously low in some administrations. There is, on the other hand, a

school of thought that most administrations in the past snipped ineffectually at corruption.Perhaps, the point of agreement between these two schools of thought is the suggestion

that the practical battle against corruption has gathered momentum and is rising to feverheat. The laws of warfare in this war against corruptions are, however of crucial concern tolegal scholars and commentators. Yet the legal arguments are often seen as academic

exercises.For the masses living in abject and abysmal poverty, there is wealth everywhere but not a

drop to drink. For them, it is a crime against their raison detre; it is a crime againsthumanity. That is the gist of this work: the war on corruption, the laws of warfare, and the

poverty-stricken masses who are invariably non-combatants but who are brazenly and

It is said that the secrets of great men are their stories. These words are proven profoundlytrue in Makindes generous expose of his last conversation with the great Chief ObafemiAwolowo.

While it is one thing to directly witness or hear about the actions of a great man, it is ahigher and more valuable privilege to gain knowledge of the reasons and thought processes

guiding those remarkable acts. That rare privilege is what Moses Makinde has given readersand generations yet to be born through this book.

In the process of answering Makindes philosophical probing, Awolowo unveils variousaspects of himself as well as the thoughts behind his publicly acclaimed phenomenal acts.

Theophilus Oluwole Akindeles Memoir of Mixed Blessings tells the story of a man whose life

took many interesting twists and turns to bring him to the pinnacle of thetelecommunication industry in Nigeria. After leaving CMS Grammar School, he worked

briefly as a radio monitor and announcer before going to the UK to study engineering. Onhis return, he joined the Colonial Civil Service as executive telecommunications engineer in


10/37

!"#$%"& ( )&* +,-, )&%* )&%."/ 01123$44$%3 5.$ 6.7 !+

charge of the Lagos territory. He rose through the ranks to become Director-General of Postand Telecommunications.

Akindeles account of key events in the political history of Nigeria, being close friendswith Ademulegun, Ironsi and Ogundipe in particular, brings new insights to the turbulent

events of the first republic and the subsequent military regimes (Aguyi-Ironsi, Gowon andMurtala Mohammeds). His role in telecommunications during the civil war gives us fresh

insight into important events of that period. Most interesting however, was the battle ofwills that occurred, when he was pitted against Murtala Mohammed, over the signing of theITT/Radio Corporation of Nigeria contract. This saga eventually cost him his job and could

be said to be one of the factors that precipitated the coup of 1976.He gave his best, and was later rewarded with a role beyond the shores of a single

nation, after he was prematurely retired from office.With a deep desire to serve the nation, Akindele has tried to live an honest and

principled life, and struggled to make the civil service an honourable profession. This

autobiography will, as well as painting an interesting history of Nigeria, give us a portrait ofa man of courage, wit and above all, principle.

When myths are employed in drama, they are not meant to plunder the past forentertainment. Rather, they are remembrances of the relics of the past for education.

On this particular occasion, we stand on the solid rock of the spirit of the Yoruba woman

who. For millions of years, have been keenly alive both to her cultural responsibilities, aswife and mother, and to her gender as an equal partner to man in the business of life.

Belly Bellows is Akinwumi Orojide-Isolas attempt at recreating the popular Yoruba Oyamyth with a metaphor that gives a deeper understanding of individuals and groups in

situations of conflict and cooperation.http://www.marymartin.com/web?pid=119684

Much has been said and heard about AIDS on a global scale but like a drizzling rain on abarren land, the sermon has had little or no impact on the minds of youngsters. It is not

surprising that the risk of infection maintains a high tempo amongst adolescents. Her Last

Wish is a play written in a plain and concise language with its wealth of explositionfashioned to arouse caution on the most dreaded disease of this age. The story educates,

enlightens and stirs up the spirit of abstinence in young minds even as it awakens theelements of morality with which man was originally created.

The book is an invaluable war chest, a prerequisite for victory over the AIDS scourge for thesustenance of tomorrows generations.

With the collapse of the Berlin wall and the emergence of a unipolar world, new issues such

as globalization, international terrorism, European Union, African Union, United NationsReforms, Millennium Development Goals, Transnational Corporations and New Partnershipfor African Development, have taken the center stage, displacing old issues such as Cold

War, Non-alignment, North South dialogue, New International Economic Order, amongothers. A book of this nature, based on recent developments within the field of international

relations, will not only facilitate a better understanding of the field, but will positively

stimulate fresh study and research on the new world order. It is intended to fill the yearninggap in literature on the new world order since the end of the cold war and the

announcement of the obituary of socialism.http://www.marymartin.com/web?pid=119730

civilian rule after the many years of military dictatorship. Over the past few years, training
