To the best of the author's knowledge, this study, conducted from
July, 1968 to June, 1969, is the first comprehensive sociological
survey of an African university. This study did not begin with a
set of specific hypotheses to be tested, nor does the research
include everything of conceivable relevance to the University of
Ilosho (U .I.). Instead, the focus is on the political structure of
U.I., on social stratification and mobility, and on problems of
ethnicity. These closely interrelated problems are of great
importance to the development of Nigeria, where U .I. is located.

"A gem of a book for scholars in race and ethnic relations and
sociobiology. . . . Van den Berghe analyzes various forms that race
and ethnic relations have displayed including colonial empires,
slavery, middleman minorities, caste systems, and assimilation. The
causes and consequences of these systems are brilliantly teased out
employing historical and crosscultural examples. Libraries with any
work at all on race and ethnic relations or sociobiology should
acquire this book." Choice
