Description
An immersive portrait of Nigeria through the lived experiences that shape everyday life.
Explore Africa's most populous country through the rhythms, structures, and meanings of ordinary existence. Organized around core dimensions of daily life-from family and economic activity to language, politics, religion, and leisure-the book moves from intimate domestic spaces to national systems of power and belief.
Drawing on examples from rural villages, the megacity of Lagos, and diverse cultural regions, it examines how Nigerians navigate kinship, markets, education, healthcare, and governance in a complex and rapidly changing society. Topics include multilingual communication, informal economies, burial traditions, urban migration, Nollywood, and Afrobeats, showing how everyday practices reflect deeper historical and social forces.
