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.
Sexuality, Human Rights, and Public Policy explores the
intersection of public policy, human rights, and sexuality as they
relate to inclusion and exclusion across diverse cultural settings.
It examines how knowledge is formed and experienced at the
intersections of culture, sexuality, race, and other axes of
identity. This volume engages an array of questions including how
public policy shapes the conceptualization of sexuality and rights
and by extension the phenomena of inclusion and exclusion in
contemporary society across the world. By evaluating how public
discourse is employed to re-inscribe differences of gender,
sexuality, and rights of citizens, this book provides a comparative
analysis of how these processes and dynamics resemble each other or
differ cross-culturally. This book demonstrates that in the realm
of sexualities, approached from the ideal of human rights as a
predominantly Western notion is increasingly challenged by diverse
views and new interpretations of human rights in non-Western
societies such as Africa and the Middle East.
