Acculturative Stress and Change in Nigerian Society argues that, in
the aftermath of European domination and colonial rule, African
struggle and the relationships between social groups in Africa can
be traced to the legacy of colonialism as well as events in the
post-colonial struggle of domination by the elites. This book
locates ethnic conflict in Nigeria not only in the colonial
history, but in the attitude and practices of the political elites.
Using the Annang of Nigeria as a case study, the book traces their
history and struggle for ethnic identity and recognition from
pre-colonial times to the post-civil war period. It further argues
that colonialism destroyed the Annang identity but the struggle for
power following colonialism has also raised other problems. What
happened to the Annang represents an example that was repeated all
over Africa. The author maintains that what is happening among the
Annang is symptomatic of the African struggle. This book moves
beyond the usual discussion of the effects of colonialism in the
continent which views the modern state as a monolithic whole. It
presents as a real-life example of the effects of colonialism and
power relationships in the post-independent continent, and
therefore, a window through which to see the African problems in
modern times. The African elites who took power from the
colonialists simply continued policies that did not promote growth
and development. It further argues that specific actions and
policies in the pre- and post-colonial period contributed to where
the continent is today.
