ABOUT THE BOOK
I carried out research with an eastern Igbo group, the Afikpo, in 1952–1953 and 1959–1960 with shorter trips up through 2010, and although I have attempted to follow Igbo events since then, my comments here largely grow out of my two extensive research periods among the Igbos. I have deliberately omitted my footnotes; this is my knowledge and experience.
