| dc.description | Few areas of the world are as complex—ethnically, linguistically or culturally—as Nigeria. This rich diversity has often prevented the foreigner from arriving at an over's appreciation of the peoples and cultures of that country, and it is to help remedy this problem that the present volume has been compiled. Together with its forthcoming companion volume, on the peoples of the southern states of Nigeria, FACES NORTH is a tribute by non-Nigerians, in words and painting, to the great ethnic and cultural wealth of Africa’s most populous country. FACES NORTH will be of interest to the armchair traveller as well as to all those who come to Nigeria from overseas—providing not only a useful introduction for those who are paying a short visit, but also a prelude to wider reading for those who have come to stay longer. The compilers, naturally enough, have been forced to select only some of the more numerous ethnic groups, and it should be recalled that the twelve groups dealt with here are no more than a selection from the total number of peoples represented in the northern states. At the same time, the series of portraits in this volume, portraits of ordinary Nigerian men and women, are a testimony to the way in which members of so many widely differing traditions are learning to live and work together, in the cause of building one of the great nations of the future. | |
