This is the first comprehensive study of leftist ideology and
movements and their organizational structure in colonial and post
colonial Nigeria. Tijani moves the contributions of Nigerian
leftists from the archival centers into mainstream intellectual and
nationalist history, proving the first historical narrative of the
unsung heroes of the Nigerian nationalist movement.
A counterbalance to the predominant study of Islam's role in social
and political struggles, this book examines life in Ede, south-west
Nigeria, offering important analyses of religious co-existence.
Since the end of the Cold War, and especially since 9/11, religion
has become an increasingly important factor of personal and group
identification. Based on an African case study, this book calls for
new ways of thinking about diversity that go "beyond religious
tolerance". Focusing on the predominantly Muslim Yoruba town of
Ede, the authors challenge the assumption that religious difference
automatically leads to conflict: in south-west Nigeria,
Muslims,Christians and traditionalists have co-existed largely
peacefully since the early twentieth century. In some contexts,
Ede's citizens emphasise the importance and significance of
religious difference, and the need for tolerance.But elsewhere they
refer to religious boundaries in passing, or even celebrate and
transcend religious divisions. Drawing on detailed ethnographic and
historical research, survey work, oral histories and poetry by UK-
and Nigeria- based researchers, the book examines how Ede's
citizens experience religious difference in their everyday lives.
It examines the town's royal history and relationship with the
deity Sango, its old Islamic compounds and itsChristian
institutions, as well as marriage and family life across religious
boundaries, to illustrate the multiplicity of religious practices
in the life of the town and its citizens and to suggest an
alternative approach to religious difference. INSA NOLTE is Reader

Studying the African Diaspora can be a complex and sometimes
difficult experience for students. The complexity of the subject
matter demands broad, thematic or regionally structured content.
Instructors are faced with the challenge of making history come
alive in the classroom, while intermeshing the complex political,
economic, and social aspects of the African experiences.
"The African Diaspora: Historical Analysis, Poetic Verses, and
Pedagogy" draws upon the years of classroom experience to deliver
diverse pedagogical and modeling tools beyond the traditional
lecture and texts analyses. The historical texts and rendition of
poems selected for this book are designed to aid students'
comprehension of the complex nature of the Africana world. This is
a unique text that is ideal for coursing covering World History,
African Diaspora, African Literature, and the African and
African-American experience.

Nigeria's Urban History is a collection of sixteen peer-reviewed
essays that explore the nature of Nigeria's urbanism and the
challenges it faces. Beginning with analysis of the role of
colonialism in the country's urban identity, the volume examines
the role of the present oil economy, gender issues, human
interactions, poverty, crime, prostitution, and transportation on
the nature of urban life and culture. The insights of this
collection will benefit students and researchers, historians and
social scientists, policymakers and planners alike.
This edited volume addresses learning, digitization, pedagogy, and
technology across disciplines in the Nigerian context. In the age
of technology and pressure to produce employable graduates,
teaching has transcended the traditional and Socratic methods.
Learning outcomes are now majorly based on igniting the critical
thinking of students using varieties of pedagogy within and outside
the classroom. In this collection, authors contextualize the
varieties of teaching, engagement, integration, and scholarship
that ignites critical thinking, discovery, and creativities in the
subject areas. From teaching physics to vocational skills, from
primary to tertiary institutions, authors bring to the fore the
enactment of effective pedagogy, teaching, learning, and most
importantly, knowledge production.
