Remembering Biafra: NARRATIVE, HISTORY, AND MEMORY OF THE NIGERIA-BIAFRA WAR

DESCRIPTION

Remembering Biafra: Narrative, History, and Memory of the Nigeria-Biafra War brings the reader face to face with the literary and historical narratives of the Nigeria-Biafra Civil War from the perspectives of scholars and individuals who experienced the war on the Biafran side. Authors who are diverse in their knowledge and experience of the complexities of the war provide fascinating insights into the human experiences of the war as it affected individuals, groups, and people of diverse age groups and gender. Indeed, those looking for new perspectives on the Biafra war, especially a narrative of its human cost will find this book illuminating and fascinating. The motivation for this book was the editors’ recognition of gaps in the official narrative of the war and the scholarly accounts of the war presented by outsiders. This book offers a different perspective on the war—an insider account drawn from eye-witness accounts and other historical sources. The interdisciplinary nature of the book makes it a unique and important resource for scholars in literature, history, and all interested in the interplay between war, trauma, and memory.
