This groundbreaking study provides broad insights into the changes Igbo history and political systems have undergone since the Late Stone Age. It discusses important methodological problems in African historiography, taking on those synchronists who have suggested that the Igbo have always lived in a static, kinship-orientated, and stateless society. Adopting a diachronic and comparative approach, author John N. Oriji explains how the interplay of economic, social, technological, and other factors have changed the history of the Igbo and their politico-religious organizations over time. In doing so, he raises critical questions regarding social stratification, cosmology, gender, and the existing typologies of African political systems.
