Synopsis

Igbo Heritage explores the rich and complex history of the Igbo people of Nigeria, offering a vital look into pre-colonial African societies. Challenging conventional narratives, the book reveals a sophisticated civilization characterized by decentralized governance, thriving trade networks, and profound cultural traditions. The Igbo people, through autonomous village communities and age-grade associations, fostered participatory decision-making, a model starkly different from centralized statehood. Readers will discover how Igbo trade networks spurred economic prosperity and cultural exchange, contributing significantly to Nigeria's diverse cultural landscape.

 
The book takes an interdisciplinary approach, synthesizing historical accounts, anthropological studies, archaeological findings, and oral traditions. It meticulously traces the origins and migrations of the Igbo people, delving into their unique political organization and economic practices. Igbo Heritage further examines Igbo culture, including religious beliefs, artistic expressions, and kinship systems. By focusing on the agency and resilience of the Igbo people, the book provides a nuanced understanding of their contributions to Nigerian society and their enduring legacy.

 
Beginning with the historical and geographical context of Igboland, the book progresses through examinations of Igbo political organization, economic life, and cultural practices. It culminates in an analysis of the impact of colonialism and the subsequent struggles for independence, demonstrating how pre-colonial structures shaped post-colonial experiences. This comprehensive approach makes Igbo Heritage a valuable resource for anyone interested in African history, Nigerian studies, and the cultural diversity of the world.

    A tragic death, a murder trial and a 170-year-old mystery – but what really happened?
    Shortly after Maria Kirwan died in a lonely inlet on Ireland's Eye, it was decided that she had drowned accidentally during a day spent with her husband on the picturesque island. This inquest verdict appeared to conclude the melancholy events that consumed the fishing village of Howth, Co Dublin, in September 1852.
    But not long afterwards, suspicion fell upon Maria's husband, William Burke Kirwan, as whispers of unspeakable cruelty, an evil character and a secret life rattled through the streets of Dublin. Investigations led to William's arrest and trial for murder.
    The story swelled into one of the most bitterly divisive chapters in the dark annals of Irish criminal history. Yet questions remain: Does the evidence stand up? What role did the heavy hand of Victorian moral outrage play? Was William really guilty of murder, or did the ever-present 'moral facts' fill in gaps where hard proof was absent?
    Now, this compelling modern analysis revisits the key evidence, asking sober questions about the facts, half-facts and fantasies buried within the yellowed pages of the Ireland's Eye case files.

    Advocacy is a tricky pursuit in Singapore. Your motives can be questioned, your activities monitored, and your scope for action limited.  Despite the constraints, civil society activists have persisted, finding ways to pursue their cause and to try to bring about the changes they believe important for Singapore. 
     
     
    In 2013 a small group of civil society stalwarts set out to acknowledge the contributions of these unsung heroes. The Singapore Advocacy Awards was launched, a 3-year project that saw a total of 18 individuals and organisations being honoured. 
     
     
    In this book, 37 activists, many of them winners of the Awards, write about their causes and discuss the strategies shaped and lessons learnt as they practise the delicate art of advocacy in Singapore. Reflecting the nature of civil society, there is a diversity of voices.  Some give a more personal account, while others describe the institutional experience of advocacy work. Some essays are short and sweet, others long and detailed. They appear ordered alphabetically by the cause.
