Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The famous Benin Bronzes are among the most prized possessions of the British Museum. Celebrated for their great beauty, they embody the history, myth and artistry of the ancient Kingdom of Benin, once the most powerful in West Africa and now part of Nigeria. But despite their renown, little has been written about the brutal act of imperial violence through which the Bronzes were plundered. This incisive new history tells that neglected story: the 1897 British invasion of Benin. Diving into the archives, Blood and Bronze sets the assault on Benin in its late Victorian context. As Britain faced new commercial and strategic pressures on its power elsewhere, it ruthlessly expanded its rule in West Africa. Revealing both the extent of African resistance and previously concealed British outrages, this is a definitive account of the conquest and destruction of Benin. By laying bare the Empire's true motives and its violent means, Paddy Docherty demolishes any moral claim for Britain retaining the Bronzes, and makes a passionate case for their immediate repatriation to Nigeria.

It covers all historical aspects of the great kingdom which was at its height between the 14th and 16 centuries. This book is divided into three sections.

The third section provides numerous and varied historical enquiries activities to improve pupils' knowledge and understanding of historical facts of the great kingdom and help to develop their enquiries skills. This section includes comparison of medieval British and Benin kings. This book incorporates historical sources including African oral traditions of storytelling, wood and terracotta sculptures and reading and analysis of the Benin bronze plaques through which the kings and elders of the kingdom chose to record their history. To keep up with technological advancement and opportunities, a dedicated website has been set up to provide further activities and up to date knowledge and information on the kingdom. A virtual classroom has also been created through which the author can clarify and provide additional support to teachers and pupils as necessary. Details of these websites are below. There are many more resources on the website including videos and photographs with cross curricular activities including ideas for developing writing and word work through drama and role play. This method of learning makes this unit an exciting topic for pupils to study. The kingdom, founded around 40Bc was at its height between the 14th and 16th century when it conquered neighbouring countries on the West African Coast and traded far afield with Europeans and traders from the East. It was sacked by the British in 1897 though the crown was restored in 1914, the king's authority and influence was highly diminished. However, the people's traditions and customs continue to this day. Fidelia Nimmons has a track record of achieving outstanding results with a variety of learners and has written many teaching and learning support books to this aim.

Book excerpt: Introduce Your Kids to an Ancient African Warrior Queen! Idia of the Benin Kingdom introduces young readers to the story of Queen Idia of the ancient Kingdom of Benin, who played an essential role during the reign of her son, Esigie, who ruled Benin from 1504-1550. This story tells of a young Idia who pursued her dreams, believed in herself, and became the first Queen Mother of Benin. The story starts with a dream young Idia has where she sees a woman in battle. The woman in her dream also appears to be using herbs and potions to heal the wounded. Something about the dream convinces Idia that she is destined to do more for her beloved kingdom. She does whatever it takes to become what her dream had shown her. It wasn't easy because, at the time, young girls were not groomed to be warriors. But Idia was determined to challenge the status quo. Idia is an excellent role model. As history tells us, she grew up to be a fierce dancing warrior queen. After the death of Idia's husband, the Oba, the kingdom was divided. Idia's political counsel helped her son end a civil war. He, in turn, bestowed upon her the title "Iyoba" meaning Queen Mother.
