Book Synopsis The History of the Nigerian Railway. Vol 1 by : Francis Jaekel
Download or read book The History of the Nigerian Railway. Vol 1 written by Francis Jaekel and published by Safari Books Limited. This book was released on 1997-08-06 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The railway systems of Nigeria were not just railways replacing another mode of transport. They were pioneers in the opening up of the country to development and contact with the outside world. This prodigious three-volume narrative sets out to explore those systems from their very beginning in the 1890s through their tortuous development to the closing decades of the twentieth century. The first volume starts with exploration, geography and demographic studies and covers the basics of the railway system: locomotives, rolling stock, permanent way, bridging, and signalling applications. The maintenance of these assets is then described followed by fuel examination and water supply exploration. The second volume covers the economic and political history for each of the nine railway and tramway systems traversing the country. Emphasis is given to time and place in the prevailing environment. In the third volume operational facilities and commercial practice are each described under three heads: crime, health, training, storekeeping and railway road transport are given a historical perspective. The whole is summed up under organisation, accounts and statistics while staff and industrial relations have their place, followed by short biographies of departmental heads.

Book Synopsis The History of the Nigerian Railway: Network and infrastructures by : Francis Jaekel
Download or read book The History of the Nigerian Railway: Network and infrastructures written by Francis Jaekel and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This massive work took seventeen years to complete, and must stand as a seminal work of meticuluous history. More than a history, it is an analysis of the railways and their role in the history of Nigeria as a country. It was the railways that carried agricultural products to the ports; that moved people at relatively little cost over long distance for trade and occupational pursuits; that gave support and strength to military operations and the movement of heavy duty equipment and materials needed for industrial works and development. The railways were the life-line of national economic development, and the pioneers in the opening up of the country to development and contact with the outside world. The three volumes explore the systems from their beginnings in the 1890s to the closing decades of the twentieth century. Over 300 illustrations illuminate the volumes. There is introductory material on exploration, geography and demography, the basics of the railway system, and a description of the assets, fuel examination and water supply exploration. The economic and political history of each of the nine railway and tramway systems is given. Operational facilities and commercial practice are each described within historical perspective. The whole is summed up under organisations, accounts and statistics, staff and industrial relations, and short biographies of departmental heads. The author spent forty-seven years in Nigeria, including twenty-seven serving to Nigeria's history.

Book Synopsis Print Culture and the First Yoruba Novel by : Karin Barber
Download or read book Print Culture and the First Yoruba Novel written by Karin Barber and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First appearing as a series of letters to a local newspaper, “The Life Story of Me, Segilola” caused a sensation in Lagos in the late 1920s. The lifelike autobiography of a repentant courtesan, it regaled the reader with risqué escapades, pious moralising and vivid evocations of urban popular culture. The narrative and the commentary that sprang up around it in the Yoruba press offer a unique view of life in colonial Lagos. Today it is recognised as I.B.Thomas's work and hailed as the first Yoruba novel in a major African literary tradition. This volume presents the edited Yoruba text with translation, selected newspaper correspondence, and an introductory essay showing how the text emerged from the Yoruba print culture of the time. Print Culture and the First Yoruba Novel has won the Paul Hair Prize 2013!
Book Synopsis The Palgrave Handbook of African Colonial and Postcolonial History by : Martin S. Shanguhyia
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of African Colonial and Postcolonial History written by Martin S. Shanguhyia and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-01-28 with total page 1360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This wide-ranging volume presents the most complete appraisal of modern African history to date. It assembles dozens of new and established scholars to tackle the questions and subjects that define the field, ranging from the economy, the two world wars, nationalism, decolonization, and postcolonial politics to religion, development, sexuality, and the African youth experience. Contributors are drawn from numerous fields in African studies, including art, music, literature, education, and anthropology. The themes they cover illustrate the depth of modern African history and the diversity and originality of lenses available for examining it. Older themes in the field have been treated to an engaging re-assessment, while new and emerging themes are situated as the book’s core strength. The result is a comprehensive, vital picture of where the field of modern African history stands today.
