Sep 16, 2021 - Dr. Ogechi E Anyanwu - Nigerian Resistance

Dr. Ogechi Anyanwu is professor of history and director of
African and African American studies at Eastern Kentucky
University in Richmond, Kentucky. He just released “The Making of
Mbano: British Colonialism, Resistance, and Diplomatic
Engagements in Southeastern Nigeria, 1906–1960.”

Mbano is a community located in the South-Eastern state of Imo
State, Nigeria. The community spans two local government areas
with about 400,000 people or the population size of Oklahoma
City.

In his book, Anyanwu repudiates the misrepresentation of the
continent by providing authentic, ironclad proof that Africans—in
this case, the Igbos of Mbano in Southeastern Nigeria—were
resilient and unyielding to colonial mandates.
