New Perspectives on the Nigeria-Biafra War: No Victor, No
Vanquished analyzes the continued impact of the Nigeria-Biafra war
on the Igbo, the failure of the reconstruction and reconciliation
effort in the post-war period, and the politics of exclusion of the
memory of the war in public discourse in Nigeria. Furthermore, New
Perspectives on the Nigeria-Biafra War explores the resilience of
the Igbo people and the different strategies they have employed to
preserve the history and memory of Biafra. The contributors argue
that the war had important consequences for the socio-political
developments in the post-war period, ushering in two differing
ideologies: a paternalistic ideology of "co-option" of the Igbo by
the Nigerian state, under the false premise of 'No Victor, No
Vanquished," and the Igbo commitment to self-preservation on the
other.
