Summary:
"I carried out research with an eastern Igbo group, the Afikpo, in 1952--1953 and 1959--1960 with shorter trips up through 2010, and although I have attempted to follow Igbo events since then, my comments here largely grow out of my two extensive research periods among the Igbos. I have deliberately omitted my footnotes; this is my knowledge and experience."--Page 1.
