| Sumario: | This book brings together the newest and the most innovative scholarship on Nigerian children--one of the least researched groups in African colonial history. It engages the changing conceptions of childhood, relating it to the broader themes about modernity, power, agency, and social transformation under imperial rule. Contributors detail everyday interaction of children with the socio-political and economic infrastructure of colonialism and demonstrate that they played a significant but rarely acknowledged role in molding core ideas about colonial modernity and civilization. Children and Childhood in Colonial Nigerian Histories fills a major gap in African studies by presenting the historical roots of some of the main issues about children' experience in postcolonial Nigeria. It argues that colonial history of children is important for understanding the challenges of childhood in contemporary Nigeria. |
