Abstract
Modern Nigeria is one of Bloomsbury’s series in Understanding Modern Nations which thematically explores the geographical attributes and historical antecedents of contemporary Nigeria, including the social, political, economic, religious and cultural values and aesthetics of the Nigerian people. The duo of Alex Asakitikpi and Aretha Asakitikpi have passionately navigated all facets of Nigerian terrain as well as the geopolitical and cultural dynamics of the people to project the distinct designation of the nation among others in Africa, and the world. Reading this volume alongside others in the Bloomsbury series with topical interests in Modern France, Modern Germany and Modern Philippines (Bloomsbury, 2022); and Modern Brazil, Modern Japan and Modern Saudi Arabia (Bloomsbury, 2024) will enable a clearer understanding of the diversity of these nations in relation to their historical, sociocultural, economic, and political landscapes.
