The Oxford Handbook of Nigerian History provides a comprehensive
history of Africa's most populous and most rapidly developing
country. Rather than centering the rise of the nation-state, the
Handbook reads the narrative of national politics alongside deeper
histories of political and social organization, as well as in
relation to competing influences on modern identity formation and
inter-group relationships, such as ethnic and religious
communities, economic partnerships, and immigrant and diasporic
cultures. Consisting of 36 chapters, the Handbook is separated into
five major sections, starting with the historiography of
Nigeria-namely, the systems of knowledge handed down by the
indigenous, Christian, Islamic, colonial, and post-colonial
traditions. From that foundation, the chapters cover the
development of nomadic and agricultural societies, the colonial
era, the emergence of a modern Nigeria, and the impact of Nigerians
outside of the country's borders. This transnational approach
incorporates the most important ideas from the new scholarship
emerging in the 21st century, creating a forward-looking volume
appropriate for a dynamic, diverse, and swiftly changing Nigeria.
