This book can be read as a historical voyage of the Igbos of Nigeria since their encounter with alien cultures and their heroic response to the challenges posed by the encounter. In a narrative that reads like an epic drama the author captures the high points of the Igbo existential constraints across time and space and their efforts to master their environment in its physical and metaphysical dimensions. The slave trade increased internecine wars and led to the depopulation of the Igbo country side. Colonialism and the policy of Indirect Rule brought to a stand still a people’s burgeoning democratic and egalitarian system of governance and replaced it with the obnoxious system of warrant chiefs, in a society that believes that ‘there is a king in every person”. It was only a matter of time for the resentment occasioned by these events to explode. Igbos had fired warning shots through bloody confrontations with the British. Typical examples are the Aba Women’s War of 1929 and the Iva Valley Coal Miner’s revolt in 1949. The author shows how these events would eventually lead to a civil war because of the Igbo spirit against injustice. For a people noted for their proclivity to commit suicide rather than to submit to slavery of any kind, war was nothing but an unavoidable demonstration of their will to be free. The bloody civil war that resulted wreaked havoc on the Nigerian society as well as on the Igbo ethnic formation. The Igbo Challenge, Beyond Recrimination and Rancour is copious with suggestions on the way the Igbos can recapture their lost glories within a constraining and vengeful Nigerian polity and how Nigeria can be a true federation of equal partners.

This thesis examines the 'Igbo Question' and emergent forms of Igbo 'self-determination' in contemporary Nigeria. It does this within the context of contested citizenship, ethnic identity politics and the unresolved crisis of state ownership and legitimacy, which all feeds into the 'National Question' in the Nigerian public space. The thesis proceeds from a theoretical standpoint that places the 'Igbo Question' within the framework of the 'tri-polar' power struggle and competition among the three major ethnic groups in Nigeria. Based on a prior idea of statehood which is rooted in the aborted secessionist attempts of the Igbo ethnic group from the Nigerian state between 1967 and 1970, and drawing on the case of an Igbo ethno-nationalist separatist movement in Nigeria, known as the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), this thesis focuses on the use of 'territory' and 'space' as components of the 'repertoires of contention' in the quest for political change, sovereignty and self-determination. This provides the context in which 'claims' and 'counter-claims' of security, territoriality and sovereignty are enacted. While the thesis draws substantially on various forms of group and sub-national rights which have been identified and studied in international law, political philosophy and social science literature generally, it transcends these debates, but focuses more on the actual processes of appropriating, interpreting and applying these rights and laws against the state in specific contexts. The analysis of the 'Igbo Question' draws on issues and perspectives surrounding the salience, construction, mobilization and politicization of ethnic identity, and the dynamics of its deployment and use in national politics, coupled with the diverse struggles, contentions and conflicts inherent in it. The research provides an innovative and empirically grounded insight into the processes of 'juridification' of self-determination rights for groups within the nationstate in Africa; the dynamics, constraints and possibilities inherent in the mobilization of these rights and laws; the emancipatory potentials or transformative ends of these rights and laws; and the role of violence in nation-building processes in Africa.

Why is the Osu caste system, a form of discrimination, still deep-seated in Igboland? Are the civil and human rights of the Osu not being violated? How does the system affect global perception on Igbo culture and her civilization? The Osu Caste Discrimination in Igboland: Impact on Igbo Culture and Civilization, which is sequel to The Osu Caste System in Igboland: A Challenge for Nigerian Democracy, describes the pain, grief and agony of those groaning under the Osu caste system in Igboland. The system ascribes an inferior Osu status to the group and limits their social interaction, marriage contracts and relationship of love with the Diala. Consequently, their daily lives are tormented by the associated Osu stigma, which hinders their social mobility and progress. Any person reading this book should reflect critically on the issue and join hands to dismantle the system for justice, fairness and social progress.

Igbo Nation: History & Challenges of Rebirth and Development is a brief account of Ndigbo in history, a summary account of their chequered experiences, the processes of their emergence as an ethnic nationality, their brutal encounter with British colonialism, their forced amalgamation with other ethnic nationalities into an artificial federation structured to put Ndigbo at grave political and economic marginal position; victims of series of political, economic and religious crises that continue to bedevil the Nigerian federation - the high-point of which is the Nigeria-Biafra war in which Ndigbo suffered unprecedented genocide for which nobody has been held responsible; their territory greatly devastated by war and fragmented by punitive measures to frustrate their political and economic survival as a people.

The joy over the growth of Christianity in Africa is also a challenge to all concerned to help Christianity take roots, ennoble and become one with the cultural life of the numerous tribes of Africa. This missionary expectation is not yet fully realized in many local churches in Africa. From these perspectives, Adolphus Chikezie Anuka inaugurates a new brand of concrete, target-oriented emphasis on dialogical inculturation. In this book, the Mmanwu cultural institution of the Igbo people of south eastern Nigeria stands in central focus, opening itself to the influences of Christian values as well as speaking to the religious assumptions of Christianity. The theoretical results of this research work and its practical pastoral suggestions are both enlightening and appealing.
