Future Directions in History in Africa
With the 50th volume of History in Africa , the journal is not quite fifty years old. As we prepare for the 50th anniversary of the journal next year, it is a perfect time to examine the present and imagine the future of our field.

But we also recognize that African history …

The Aba Women’s War of 1929 in Eastern Nigeria as anti-colonial protest
Eastern Nigeria was the official name for the area south of River Benue and east of River Niger, stretching southwards to the Bight of Biafra and the Atlantic Ocean. It has been home to the Igbo, Ibibio, Annang, Oro, Efik, Ejegham, and Ijaw ethnic groups since precolonial times. The setting up of the colonial Native Treasury law in 1916 to encourage British satellite states such as Nigeria to pay tax for the running of the colonial government was…

This could be as a result of the phenomenon being a relatively recent development in Igboland, commencing in the second…

Islam in the Niger Delta 1890-2017
Being Igbo and Muslim
Amid assumptions of a hegemonic Igbo Christian identity, conversions to Islam began in the late 1930s in the Igbo territory of south-east Nigeria – the only region in the country that was not touched by the nineteenth-century Islamic jihad and subsequent efforts to extend the borders of Islam in Nigeria. Four decades after the emergence of Islam in the Igbo homeland, and with the mixed blessings of a civil war, Igboland began to manifest clear ev…

This empirically rich collection of essays, the seventh of the CODESRIA Gender Series, deals with critical examinations of various shades and ramifications of Africa's masculinities and what these portend for the peoples of Africa and …
Recollections of Childhood Experiences During the Nigerian Civil War

It probes their feelings and responses to the…
