It begins with an evaluation of the methodologies used in studying the so-called stateless societies and goes on to discuss the origin of the Ngwa and their socio-political organization. Subsequent chapters examine local and regional trade networks as well as the roles Okonko title society, the Aro and other oracular specialists played during slavery and legitimate commerce. Also discussed are the production and marketing of palm produce and the sequence of events that contributed to the Aba Women's Revolt of 1929. The final chapter uses the Ngwa example to highlight the diverse changes that occurred in Igbo mini states during the periods under review.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Nwachimereze Oriji\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0820414115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780820414119\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/1991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"John Nwachimereze Oriji","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453410095359,"sku":"9780820414119","price":42.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b7081fc4-62c1-4b13-9321-51747c8fa638.jpg?v=1777300066","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ngwa-history-john-nwachimereze-oriji-9780820414119","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
