The Igbo are one of the most populous ethnic groups in Nigeria and
are perhaps best known and celebrated in the work of Chinua Achebe.
In this landmark collection on Igbo society and arts, Toyin Falola
and Raphael Chijioke Njoku have compiled a detailed and innovative
examination of the Igbo experience in Africa and in the diaspora.
Focusing on institutions and cultural practices, the volume covers
the enslavement, middle passage, and American experience of the
Igbo as well as their return to Africa and aspects of Igbo
language, society, and cultural arts. By employing a variety of
disciplinary perspectives, this volume presents a comprehensive
view of how the Igbo were integrated into the Atlantic world
through the slave trade and slavery, the transformations of Igbo
identities and culture, and the strategies for resistance employed
by the Igbo in the New World. Moving beyond descriptions of generic
African experiences, this collection includes 21 essays by
prominent scholars throughout the world.
