Product details
Description
About the Author Toyin Falola is a professor in the history department at the University of Texas at Austin. Ann Genova is a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Texas at Austin. Product Description After decades of military rule and political instability, Nigeria reintroduced itself as a democratic state in 1999. Faced with the expansion of globalization and domestic pressures to reform its social and political policies, Nigerians find themselves in a transition period. The Yoruba, one of Nigeria’s most well-known and historically prevalent ethnic groups, have taken an active role in dealing with these issues. The Yoruba in Transition captures the views on the new millennium, highlighting recommendations for this new Nigeria and emphasizing contemporary issues that the Yoruba face. The contributors, many of them Yoruba, illuminate the complexity of Yoruba identity and how the Yoruba seek to communicate their values, project an image, and live their lives. Included are essays dealing with contemporary issues such as migration, health, agricultural production, cybercrime, and the role of women in Yoruba society. The Yoruba in Transition represents a rare view of how people within and outside Nigeria view the new millennium for the Yoruba. Review …the essays are well-written, analytical, and insightful. As a comprehensive and critical volume, Falola and Genova have succeeded in editing an important reader in Yoruba studies. This significant volume will be invaluable to scholars, public policy analysts, and lay readers of Yoruba and Nigerian studies. --Olufemi Vaughan, The Journal of the Royal African Society
