Culture / Re: The Marvelous Culture Of The Igbos And Igboland by Obi0688(m): 10:10pm On Feb 26, 2017

A few good titles on the history were mentioned in the thread below:

On the culture and the religion, I can only mention the ones I've read and liked (which aren't much).

The Igbo of Southeast Nigeria (Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology) by Victor C. Uchendu is a good easy read. Small volume, too (about a hundred pages or so).

Igbo Philosophy by T. Uzodinma Nwala is a more complex work. A good book, in my own opinion.

There has to be a lot more I don't know of.
If you can read Igbo, you should also check out these great Secondary School texts:

Odinala Ndi Igbo by Tony Ubesie

Omenala Ndi Igbo by J. U. T. Nzeako

Omenala Igbo: The Book of Igbo Customs by F. C. Ogbalu

(Oh, there was a collection of essays prepared in honour of F. C. Ogbalu. It is called The Study of Igbo Culture: Essays in Honour of F. C. Ogbalu and it is by Rems Umeasiegbu. Haven't read it though, but I know Umeasiegbu to be quite knowledgeable. Plus the book is short and would make for a quick read.)

Thanks for this!
