Description

This critical scholarly work by Oluwatoyin Oduntan examines the intellectual foundations of modern Nigerian and West African society through rigorous analysis of historical accounts, traditions and archival documents. The book repositions African perspectives at the centre of colonial encounter narratives, exploring native intellectual thought as the lens through which Africans experienced colonisation. By tracing shifting dynamics among various segments of the African elite, Oduntan challenges conventional historiography and illuminates how modern African society was formed and continues to function. Published by Routledge as part of their Studies in the Modern History of Africa series, this work contributes substantially to postcolonial African history scholarship and provides essential context for understanding contemporary West African intellectual and political development.

Key Features

Power, Culture and Modernity in Nigeria critically re-examines Nigerian and West African history through African intellectual perspectives rather than colonial narratives.

The book analyses shifting dynamics between African elite segments using existing historical accounts, traditions and archival research materials.

Oduntan explores native intellectual thought as the framework through which Africans understood and responded to the colonial encounter.

Published by Routledge Studies in the Modern History of Africa series, offering peer-reviewed scholarly analysis of modern African society formation and function.

This work repositions Africans as central agents in their own historical narrative rather than passive subjects of colonial administration.
