Happy to announce the release of a
very long book, 612 pp. long .
DECOLONIZING NIGERIA: POLITICS, POWER, AND
PERSONALITIES, 1945-1960
Toyin Falola and Bola
Dauda
Bearing both the professional and general readers
in mind,
Decolonizing Nigeria: Politics, Power, and
Personalities
is an innovative approach at crafting a popular history
of a great moment in Nigeria's history.The
book is neatly organized into three parts. Part One,
comprising three chapters, focuses
on the driving forces of transformation, beginning from
1945 to 1950, to bring about self-determination for Nigeria,
the most populous African nation.
Part
Two, "Development of the Institutions for
Self-Government," contains five chapters that cover
British development policies aligned with the decolonization
agenda.
The
five chapters in Part Three are organized under the central
theme of "Regionalism and Change." This section
highlights the personalities of Nigeria's
most powerful nationalists: Bello, Azikiwe, and Awolowo in
relation to how their careers accentuated the structures of
regional differences by entrenching the north-east-west
antipathy respectively.
The
final chapter "Conclusion and Epilogue," explains the
tasking steps that Nigerian leaders have taken since
independence in 1960 to deal with the
"unfinished businesses" of decolonization.
Aimed
at a wider audience with a blend of grassroots and elitist
positions,
Decolonizing Nigeria is a to understanding both the political
economies and the geopolitics of the post-colonial
multi-ethnic nation
states.
