Series: Conflict and Security in the Developing World

The plight of citizens being victims of violence, politicking, power tussle, inconsistent government policies, and approaches to resolving the protracted conflict between Offa and Erinle (also known as Erin-Ile) from independence to now defines and explains the intractability between these two groups. Understanding Protraction and the Intractability of Conflicts: The Case of Offa and Erinle, Kwara State, Nigeria, by Yakub Jide Yahaya, examines a sensitive and problematic socio-cultural aspect of intra-ethnic conflicts where two promising communities have ignored trade development and urbanization and settled for pettiness and violence. The book searches into the unique area of intra-ethnic conflicts while providing a background for understanding this conflict, highlighting the nuances ignored in the discussion. Above all, it highlights the underlying issues called 'land conflict' across Nigeria and Africa.

Reviews for Understanding and Transforming Intra-Ethnic Conflicts: The Case Study of the Offa-Erinle, Kwara State, Nigeria

This book discusses one of the dominant themes in Yoruba intra-ethnic conflicts of the nineteenth century Yorubaland which has been glossed over in literature. Offa and Erinle in Kwara State of Nigeria are major actors in intra-ethnic conflict for an unusual prolonged period, which has made it a topic of interest in academic discussion. Intractable Intra-Ethnic Conflicts: The Case Study Of The Offa-Erinle, Kwara State, Nigeria has bridged the gap in our knowledge of the history of Kwara State, especially in the revolutionary century. The book is highly valuable to studies in different sphere of knowledge. I highly recommend it. -- Rasheed Ajetunmobi * Tai Solarin University of Education * The richness of Yoruba civilization is distinctly reflected in its traditions, values, and intellectual achievements. An analysis of the relationship between Offa and Erinle illustrates the resilience of Yoruba culture and the dynamic interplay between tradition and modernity in the context of colonialism and socio-political changes. Through a careful examination of the inherent conflicts and contradictions within these civilizations, this work invites readers to deepen their understanding and appreciation of the complexities surrounding inter-group relations in contemporary Nigeria. -- Akin Alao * Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife *
