Nigeria (Codesria Book Series)

History

Spectrum Books Ltd

South Africa's Drum magazine was internationally famous as recording through photographs the history and events of a turbulent country. Jim Bailey was however often on the spot in other African countries too. Here the story of Nigeria is told from the photographic records of Drum. Presenting an African view of contemporary history, the large-format volumes are both a wealth of information and accessible history, and a unique photographic resource. The diverse and turbulent events, and the numerous complex characters who occupied the centre stage in the epic drama that was the evolution of the Nigerian state, are reported with passion and mission in the several editions which were compiled to make up this two-volume text. All the stars of political history are vividly recorded. Also prominently featured, copiously illustrated with historic photographs, are social issues of sports, secret cults, ritual murder, entertainment, the arts, religion, juju, the 1996 coup, and the Civil War.

The central thesis of this book challenges the view that Nigeria's economic and politcal crises are functions of a self-imposed paralytic political framework; rather they stem from unfavourably fashioned economic reforms. By extension, the military quashing of the 1998 elections was not the cause, but the trigger of the ensuing political crisis, which was rooted in externally imposed economic strategies. This is supported by a review of official data from the World Bank, and the IMF's interventions and structural adjustment during the period. The conclusions are intended to inform policy-makers and professionals in the search for more focused economic strategies. Futher, the findings can be extrapolated to better inform other structurally adjusted African countries.
