First published in 1974, this study, by a social anthropologist
who has lived, taught and researched in Nigeria, explores how the
Yoruba of Nigeria living in Ibadan and Lagos perceive the society
in which they live. Their views on stratification and social
inequality in particular are related to traditional Yoruba concepts
and to their experiences in education, migration and present social
and occupational relationships. It is shown that, in general, these
recent migrants and city dwellers see their society as open; they
emphasise achievement rather than class opposition. Recent protest
a " industrial strikes in Lagos, the Agbekoya peasant rebellion in
Ibadan a " are assessed in the light of these attitudes.
