About the Book

In Fragmented Identities of Nigeria: Sociopolitical and Economic Crises, edited by John Ayotunde Isola Bewaji and Rotimi Omosulu, readers are offered essays which explore the historiogenesis and ontological struggles of Nigeria as a geographical expression and a political experiment. The transdisciplinary contributions in this book analyze Nigeria as a microcosm of global African identity crises to address the deep-rooted conflicts within multi-ethnic, multi-linguistic, multi-religious, and multicultural societies. By studying Nigeria as a country manufactured for the interests of colonial forces and ingrained with feudal hegemonic agendas of global powers working against the emancipation of African people, Fragmented Identities of Nigeria examines the history, evolution, and consequences of Nigeria’s sociopolitical and economic crises. The contributors make suggestions for pulling Nigeria from the brink of an identity implosion which was generated by years of misgovernance by leaders without vision or understanding of what is at stake in global black history. Throughout, the collection argues that it is time for Nigeria to reassess, renegotiate, and reimagine Nigeria’s future, whether it be through finding an amicable way the different ethnicities can continue to co-exist as federating or confederating units, or to dissolve the country which was created for economic exploitation by the United Kingdom.

Review :
This is a fascinating text on a flawed country, Nigeria, a name created by a stranger, to capture the anomalies of artificiality. The collection is engaging, rich, and demonstrative of the range of scholarship on the identity of an embattled country. Fragmented Identities of Nigeria offers carefully selected essays that engage a diversity of topics on the perennial question of Nigeria's identity crisis, traceable to a nepotistic culture of entitlement; they speak to a warped sense of belonging and alienation, all of which have pitched the different segments of the country's ethnic nationalities against one another in a tense atmosphere of cut-throat, zero-sum competition that have persistently undermined national cohesion. They are timely essays that speak to an equally urgent conundrum of nationhood in postcolonial Nigeria.
