| dc.description | Groundwork of Nigeria History is in four Parts. The first part (Chapters 1 and 2) is a general discussion of the archaeological evidence as this relates to historical development in the Nigerian Geographical area, and the influence of the geographical environment on Nigeria history. The rest of the work is divided into three sections—Nigeria Before 1800, Nigeria in the Nineteenth Century and Nigeria in the Twentieth Century. The approach has been Chronological and regional’. Undoubtedly, other approaches are possible. However, given the state of knowledge in the 1960s when this work was planned, the approach adopted appeared then the most feasible. One consequence of this approach is that, inevitably, some ideas are repeated in various regional chapters. | |
