Description

This comprehensive scholarly work by Falola and Adebayo examines the multifaceted role of money within Yoruba society in Nigeria, exploring its historical origins, philosophical foundations, practical applications, and cultural significance. The book traces the evolution from traditional barter systems to cowry currency, analysing how economic practices shaped and were shaped by Yoruba politics, values, and social structures. Designed for both academic study and individual chapter reference, this volume fills a critical gap in African economic history and diaspora studies, offering insights into a major ethnic group with deep historical connections to black communities across North America and the Caribbean. The structured approach allows readers to engage with specific topics whilst maintaining coherent thematic progression throughout the three-part framework.
