Politics and Identity Formation in Southeastern Nigeria - The Igbo in Perspective (Hardcover)

Scholarly studies on the Igbo have been scanty and fragmented: Politics and Identity Formation in Southeastern Nigeria: The Igbo in Perspective fills an obvious gap. This book explores the social, cultural, economic, political and aesthetic traditions that distinguish the Igbo of southeastern Nigeria from their neighbors. It is both multi- and cross-disciplinary in scope, content and analyses, focusing essentially on experiences and forces that shaped the Igbo society, Igbo identity formation, and Igbo socio-cultural, political and aesthetic representations. The themes interrogated in refreshing fashion with an appreciable level of originality include the importance of Igbo names in understanding the people’s social, linguistic, religious, gender, and cultural identities, spiritual matters, Pentecostalism and their attendant social, political, and economic consequences for the Igbo, and textile and fashion museums of Igbo fabrics, attires, designs, patterns and colors.
