Diasporas and Ethnic Identities in Africa

The Edo ne Ekue among the Northeast Yoruba, 1485-1995

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the Edo ne Ekue, this work explores the often-overlooked non-economic diasporas in pre-colonial Africa, particularly among the Edo people. Uyilawa Usuanlele delves into their political institutions, trading networks, and unique identity within the Benin Kingdom, highlighting their connections to the royal court and interactions with local rulers. The study enhances understanding of ethnic identity and the dynamics of political, economic, and social changes across communities from 1485 to 1995, challenging the prevailing focus on West African trade diasporas.
