Book excerpt: As the names suggests, Tales from Esan Land is a collection of tales and legends originating and traditional among the tribe of the people of Esan in the famous Bini Kingdom, south of Nigeria. It may be folk, but it forms part of the oral tradition of the common people and beliefs passed on traditionally whether real or based on superstition. Timeless and placeless, as it has always been from our forebears, the stories contained here are priceless builders of sound morals and humanity. These are told by parents and adults to children especially at moonlit evenings in most African villages to teach the history of their people as well as how to behave responsibly. This little book, therefore, is my contribution to create a sense of unity of my cultural group of the peoples of Edo. Apart from reinforcing Esan people's identity, which telling of tales from generation to generation does, this book is a bridge between the past, the present, and future-a window for the children of the world in this era of globalization. It's my hope that children all over the world, no matter where they domicile, will find this interesting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon narrative tradition, reenactment ceremonies, legends of gods and goddesses, and the fusion of numerous genealogies, this book examines gender relations among the Owan people of southern Nigeria between c.1320 and the beginning of the twentieth century. The author challenges the orthodox view that patriarchy has been the norm in all societies, adding to our understanding of the origins of patriarchy and placing its development in an historical perspective. He also suggests a new definition of matriarchy, not simply as rule by women, but also as a phase in the history of societies in which gender equality existed. The book argues that the Owan people once had a social order very close to matriarchy. Despite a large influx from neighbouring peoples with a strong patriarchal tradition, Owan women retained their high social status and power because of their virtual control of the cotton trade, but after the demand for cotton decreased sharply after 1700, their social position declined rapidly until the beginning of the twentieth century, when it was altered legally by the establishment of British rule.ONAIWU W.
