This work documents the history of change during the colonial
period in the Abakaliki division and town of south-eastern Igbo
Nigeria over four main historical periods: pre- British Abakaliki;
the beginnings of colonialism from the early twentieth century
until the 1920s; the 1920s until the 2nd World War; and the
post-war period through to independence in 1960. Within the context
of rapid urbanisation and urban sprawl in Africa, the study focuses
on one Nigerian town and its rural environs. It is the story of
successful rural farmers and of an emerging town in their midst;
and a study of ethnic interrelationships, integration and conflict
between the town and the rural areas. It is a study in colonial
history within the framework of British control and conquest; and
also a story of African responses to colonialism: resistance,
accommodation and innovation. The author characterises his work as
more descriptive than theoretical, and as having regard for both
anthropological and historical approaches and the positive and
negative aspects of colonialism, without being overtly ideological.
