This book was released on 2003 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the former Kingdom of Benin is a fascinating subject which aroused the interest of many scholars during more than one hundred years. However, today, when Africa unfortunately attracts much less public and professional interest than in the times of de-colonisation and subsequent cold war struggle for the continent between the socialist and capitalist blocs, only a few specialists outside Nigeria are undertaking Benin researches and, therefore, the authors felt the need to make a new attempt for writing a history of this remarkable kingdom, including newest results of researches. Besides the general public, the book is destined for graduate and undergraduate students, as well as lecturers on African studies. To make easier reading for the general public, the book contains some elements of what may be called popular history .

Book Synopsis Blood and Bronze by : Paddy Docherty
Download or read book Blood and Bronze written by Paddy Docherty and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-03-01 with total page 296 pages. 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.

Book excerpt: The Benin bronze and other beautiful artifacts of the Benin kingdom of Nigeria are popular and found in homes and museums in countries around the world. The ancient kingdom which conquered many kingdoms to become an empire in the 15 century was one of the greatest and most advanced ancient civilization in African history. The kingdom still exists today with a royal house that is almost a thousand years old. The long history of the great kingdom was shaped by interesting people and events, and their stories have been told for hundreds of years from generation to generation.This story takes us to an important time in history when the Benin kingdom was ruled by great warrior Obas (kings) who conquered other kingdoms far and wide, expanded the Benin kingdom into an empire, and trade with Europeans. It is a story of one of the biggest rivalries in the kingdom between two Benin princes and the two biggest towns in the kingdom which began when a newly born baby was robbed of his birthright to be king of the kingdom. The baby who later grew up to be a giant warrior desperately wanted to be the king but the giant who has been successful in several battles must have to defeat his half-brother, the crowned prince, and the crowned prince's mother who is a powerful sorcerer and warrior. The story is that of culture, tradition, battles, strategy, magic, family, desperation, defeat, and victory. This picture book was written for kids age 6 to 16 to help them learn about the history, legends, language, culture, and tradition of the ancient Benin kingdom but is a good read for adults too. It features the famous Benin moat (which is the longest ancient man-made earthwork in the world), bronze plaques, and architecture.

Book Synopsis Discovering the Kingdom of Benin by : Amie Jane Leavitt
Download or read book Discovering the Kingdom of Benin written by Amie Jane Leavitt and published by The Rosen Publishing Group, Inc. This book was released on 2013-12-15 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kingdom of Benin, which started out as a small community and grew to be a vast empire, was particularly known for its expert farming practices, building skills, and artistic abilities. Within a few centuries, the Kingdom of Benin had grown into a dominant force in the region. Contact with Portugal led to economic and military cooperation and an even wealthier and more expansive empire. Eventually, however, it also helped facilitate the slave trade and planted the seeds of Benin's eventual destruction. Today's students are woefully unaware of the political, economic, and artistic glory that was Benin. That is corrected here and done so in lavish full-color, with abundant use of enthralling photographs, artifacts, maps, illustrations, and primary source materials. This text supports Common Core's mandate regarding analyzing the relationship between primary and secondary sources, citing evidence to support analysis of primary and secondary sources, and determining the central ideas or information of a primary or secondary source.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 16th century bronze plaques from the kingdom of Benin are among the most recognized masterpieces of African art, and yet many details of their commission and installation in the palace in Benin City, Nigeria, are little understood. The Benin Plaques, A 16th Century Imperial Monument is a detailed analysis of a corpus of nearly 850 bronze plaques that were installed in the court of the Benin kingdom at the moment of its greatest political power and geographic reach. By examining European accounts, Benin oral histories, and the physical evidence of the extant plaques, Gunsch is the first to propose an installation pattern for the series.
