Synopsis

Igala Political Order explores the sophisticated governance and economic systems of the precolonial Igala Kingdom in West Africa, revealing how it achieved remarkable political stability and prosperity for centuries, despite lacking extensive written records. The book argues the kingdom's success stemmed from balancing a centralized monarchy (the Ata) with the influence of aristocratic lineages (Igala Mela), and decentralized village autonomy, alongside strategic engagement in regional trade. This challenges simplistic views of precolonial African states, highlighting a complex interplay of power and governance.

 
The book examines the kingdom's historical context, dissects its political architecture by exploring the roles of the Ata, aristocratic clans, and local governance, and investigates its economic foundations, including agriculture, regional trade, and adaptation to the transatlantic slave trade. Using oral traditions, early European accounts, archaeological findings, and linguistic analysis, the book presents a multifaceted perspective.

 
This interdisciplinary approach offers valuable insights into state formation and resilience, contributing to African history, political science, and economic history. By examining the historical roots of governance and regional relations, Igala Political Order provides a framework for understanding contemporary political challenges in Africa.

 
The book progresses through the kingdom's history, political structures, and economic activities, providing a nuanced understanding of precolonial statehood and challenging conventional wisdom.

    Giving My All captures the journey of Earl Martin Phalen as he navigates family, self-identity and purpose.As a black boy adopted into a large, loving Irish Catholic family at age two, Earl discovered at a young age that he was meant to stand out. Yet whether it was on the basketball court or early in his career as a young and ambitious “edupreneur,” Earl encountered opportunities that required him to give his all, but often found himself holding back. Earl faced both subtle and overt racism in his predominantly white neighborhoods, but with the love and unrelenting support of his family, he was able to overcome much—facing it most directly and intentionally for the first time when he arrived on Yale campus as a young athlete scholar. While at Yale, Earl gained a new sense of pride and purpose as he connected with his black and African American heritage. This would continue throughout his studies and into graduate school at Harvard Law, where his calling to education—particularly that of black and brown children—came to life. Earl has dedicated his life to improving the access poor, black and brown children have to quality education and opportunities.

    Mark Twain delivered this speech at the dedication of new buildings at the College of the City of New York. The mayor who preceded him mentioned that good citizenship should take precedence even over education. Twain uses this introduction to transition into a funny discussion of the motto “In God we trust” being stamped into U.S. coins and how this relates to principles of citizenship. “If the cholera or black plague should come to these shores, perhaps the bulk of the nation would pray to be delivered from it,” he remarks, “but the rest would put their trust in the Health Board of the City of New York.”
