Produktbeschreibung

This study focuses on An Identity Identified: Jukun Nation and Their Neighbors in Nigeria. The origin of the Jukun nation, migration patterns, the Jukun factor in Nigerian history, the nature of inter group relations in Jukun society and the social and political culture in Jukun society were ornately covered in first chapters. The last set of chapters in this book specifically examines Jukun's historic relations with other ethnic groups, such as the Tiv, the Hausa-Fulani, the Chamba, the Kuteb, the Nupe and Igala. The dynamics of Jukun intergroup relations emanates from the compelling need to accommodate, understand and prevent intergroup conflagrations so that feuding ethnic groups will not continue to tear themselves apart. The emphasis of the book thus, is on the need to understand the Jukun and their neighbors in terms of their history, interests, objectives, leadership and strategies as necessary preconditions for building bridges of solidarity and peaceful coexistence in the Middle Belt region of Nigeria.
