Description
The Kingdoms of the Yoruba offers a comprehensive exploration of the history and culture of one of Africa's largest and most influential groups. This extensively revised third edition draws on advances in Nigerian historiography to provide a richly detailed account of the Yoruba people's past, from their autonomous kingdoms to their elaborate constitutional forms, methods of warfare and diplomacy, and unique religious practices. The book is enriched by drawings and photographs that illustrate these aspects of Yoruba culture for the first time. By examining the oral traditions, archaeology, visitor accounts, and official reports from administrators and missionaries, readers can gain a deeper understanding of this fascinating topic. With 174 pages of in-depth information, this paperback edition provides an ideal introduction to the history and culture of the Yoruba people.
