Описание
This book is a study in the historiography of the Ijebu people living in the southwestern part of Nigeria. It attempts to put straight the history of the Ijebu-Yoruba people via the people's oriki, a genre of the traditional oral poetry of the Yoruba people. This work, among others, reveals that the Ijebu people truly have oriki. It challenges the Wadai/Obanta tradition of Ijebu history, and, it also portrays the Ijebu people as the link between the Yoruba and the WEST.
