Women and Rural Protest in Colonial Eastern Nigeria
This article explores the economic roots of the 1929 Women’s War in colonial Nigeria. It analyzes the dynamics of women’s social mobilization and its link to the imposition of British indirect rule and the economic crisis of the Great Depression. It relates how the Great Depression, colonial economic structure and organization, political culture, and gender ideology provide a more complex understanding of the causes of the revolt. The article sug…

This chapter looks at the intersection of environment, agriculture, and sustainable development. Whether it be crop production or animal husbandry, suitable agricultural production is dependent on a suitable and sustainable environment. This article looks at the link…

Nigeria and World War II
Britain's declaration of war on Germany on 3 September, 1939, made Nigeria, like many other African societies, active participants in the war against the Axis powers. Leading to large-scale mobilization of human and materials resources, it transformed lives and societies in irrevocable ways. Of the 90,000 West African soldiers deployed to South East Asia after 1943, over half came from Nigeria. In this important, revisionist history, Chima J. Kor…
The Nigeria-Biafra War, Oil and the Political Economy of State Induced Development Strategy in Eastern Nigeria, 1967–1995
In recent years, the low agricultural productivity, food insecurity and environmental degradation have become more apparent in many African societies. These trends have threatened the farmers' ability to increase productivity and to practice sustainable agriculture. The crisis in agricultural productivity is structural as it is demonstrated by the impact of the Nigeria-Biafra War and the emergence of the petroleum industry in the 1970s. This pape…
Lynn Schler. Nation on Board
Nation on Board: Becoming Nigerian at Sea, by Lynn Schler, follows an interesting list of recent works focusing on the way in which Africans shaped the colonial encounter and were shaped by it. The book is a detailed analysis of the intersection of colonialism, African labor, race, and resistance in colonial Nigeria. Schler details the process through which Nigerian men exploited the opportunity provided by European shippers to enter the world of…

The Land Has Changed
A century ago, agriculture was the dominant economic sector in much of Africa. By the 1990s, however, African farmers had declining incomes and were worse off, on average, than those who did not farm. Colonial policies, subsequent ‘top-down’ statism, and globalization are usually cited as primary causes of this long-term decline. In this unprecedented study of the Igbo region of southeastern Nigeria, Chima Korieh points the way to a more complex …

I humbly lay my reputation on your verdict, and beg that your acute interest to help your subjects in this time of conflict mark you [as] an asset and real factor, helpful figure whose merciful eye would reflect upon my case which stands me a subject of compassion. — Odili Ezeoke to the Authority Controlling Food Supply, Aba, 9 July 1943 .

Missions, States, and European Expansion in Africa
Missions, States, and European Expansion in Africa aims to explore the ways Christianity and colonialism acted as hegemonic or counter hegemonic forces in the making of African societies. As Western interventionist forces, Christianity and colonialism were crucial in establishing and maintaining political, cultural, and economic domination. Indeed, both elements of Africa’s encounter with the West played pivotal roles in shaping African societies…
Voices from Within and Without
Over the past few decades, social history has variously and successfully explored the lives of neglected groups in society. Nevertheless, the question of capturing these “silent voices” in history, including those of women, remains at the heart of social history. Although few sources are available that allow historians to hear these voices, new methodological insights offer opportunities. A multidisciplinary framework and a broad range of methodo…
Alcohol and Empire
Historians have examined the social and economic role of alcohol in the making of colonial societies. We have a fairly substantial literature on the contribution of alcohol in defining the frontiers of commerce, law, culture, identity, and consciousness in colonial Africa. Significant attention has also been drawn to the role of alcohol as a tool of imperial control and a source of revenue for the empire, but the analysis has yet to fully illumin…
