Product details

"A History of Nigeria" by Toyin Falola and Matthew M. Heaton is a comprehensive, detailed account of Nigeria's history from ancient times to the early 21st century. The book covers early civilizations, pre-colonial societies, and the impact of European colonialism, highlighting social, economic, and political dynamics.

It gives insight into the complexities of Nigerian identity shaped by ethnic diversity, migration, and colonial legacies, exploring themes such as state formation, resistance, and cultural transformation. The narrative extends through Nigeria’s post-independence challenges, including coups, military regimes, and democratic transitions, detailing the nation’s struggles with corruption, governance, and development.

Key Features

While the writing style is generally academic and dense, it serves as a valuable resource for understanding Nigeria’s multifaceted historical trajectory, with strong emphasis on local narratives and socio-political contexts. The book is praised for its depth and scope, although some find its tone dry and the political minutiae challenging at times. Nonetheless, it remains an authoritative introduction and reference for students and scholars of Nigerian and African history.
