| dc.description | This book attempts to explore different trends in the political history of the landscape now known as Nigeria from the point of view of an evolving political culture within the dimensions of time and space on the one hand, and of change and continuity on the other. It contains the proceedings of the National Seminar on ‘Nigeria’s Evolutionary Political Culture since 1000 A.D.,’ organized by the Kaduna State Council for Arts and Culture and held in Kaduna from the 2nd to the 5th of November, 1981. This was the second in a series of three seminars organized by the Council to illustrate that our culture goes beyond dancing and singing and remains relevant to our most crucial and fundamental issues of today. The first in the series, ‘Culture and Technology in Nigeria,’ was held in 1980, and the third, ‘Culture and Personality in Nigeria,’ was held in 1982. | |
