Why Are Books On Igbo Culture, Identity, History Etc Expensive. by Nobody: 11:24pm On Jul 08, 2016 |
I am looking to stock up my library. As a scientist, I have lots of books in my area of specialisation however I am really interested and fascinated by Igbo culture. Searching through the amazon US and UK websites, there are plenty of books on Igbo issues, but the problem is they are very expensive. Nairalanders, how do you buy your books for cheap. 1 Like |

Interesting, @Project400, we're (currently) conducting a related and relevant research on Igbo Culture, and we strongly recommend scholarly articles. Some are free and easily retrievable on the Internet. See the attached PDF doc on "globalization, culture mutation and new identity: Implications for the Igbo cultural heritage" (Amadi & Agena, 2014) : 1 Like |

My friend, I am also facing the same challenge. I have spent the last three nights trying to get one online. Its either they refer to one whack website or they ask me of my location and the library there. If you tell them you are in Nigeria, they ask the location in Nigeria. I believe these books are not common and contains concrete history of the people of Igbo extraction. Many were written by slaves, educated slaves in diaspora and were kept for safe keep. Their knowledge about the history was helped by the education they got from the slave masters. Just screenshots of those books showed the quality of its content and quality cannot be found everywhere. I will keep trying until I finally get a few books to stock and keep for myself and kids.

Its because most Igbo texts are original. They didnt allow foreigners to write their history and culture. If na lie ask Elizabeth Isichei and Onwuajeogu. ![]() 45 Likes 3 Shares |

S6un: Make extensive use of search engines. Sometimes you really have to be patience and read through blogs and peoples comments. I have gotten many links someone posted in a bloga if you are patient to read through. We don't have libraries or that much ebooks websites that deals on the topic you want so we are left at the mercy of what we get outside the shores. Trytorrents sites 2 Likes 1 Share |
