Description

Explore the deep connections between economic practices and social structures in this scholarly work from Routledge. Culture, Politics, and Money Among the Yoruba provides an in-depth analysis of how money functions within Yoruba society in Nigeria. Authors Falola and Adebayo examine the origins, philosophy, and practical uses of currency, as well as the politics and challenges related to acquiring and spending wealth. This volume is unique as it is the first book to study these specific economic aspects of a major African ethnic group that maintains strong ties with the Black Diaspora in the Caribbean and North America. The book is structured for convenience, with three distinct parts designed so that readers can study individual chapters independently. Whether you are researching African economics, history, or sociology, this text offers a detailed look at the transition from barter systems to cowry currency and the practical realities of Yoruba economic life.
