Invitation to the book launch of "Migration and Diaspora Identity in Northern Nigeria and Ghana, 1900–1970"
On 27 August, IFRA-Nigeria is hosting the book launch of Professor Rasheed Olaniyi's (Department of History, University of Ibadan) latest publication Migration and Diaspora Identity in Northern Nigeria and Ghana, 1900–1970. Accompanied by his discussant, Professor Olayinka Akanle (Department of Sociology, UI), he will uncover the driving forces and mechanisms through which Yoruba migrant communities in Kano (Nigeria) and Tamale (Ghana), forged diaspora identities and grappled with the challenges of social inclusion and exclusion. Drawing on fieldwork interviews and archival research in particular, it analyses how socio-economic forces and power relations shaped the very different experiences of the two communities as well as how they sustained ties with the homeland in southwestern Nigeria.
