Recenzii
"An important contribution to the study of modern African history. It will be of special interest to scholars of African history, women's studies, and comparative politics." Anene Ejikeme, Trinity University
"An unusual biography and a compelling tale about the life of an extraordinary woman." Stephan F. Miescher, University of California, Santa Barbara
"Nwando Achebe carefully illuminates and documents the life and times of a remarkable Igbo woman, unveiling a hitherto little known, albeit important, detail of Nigerias colonial history." International Journal of African Historical Studies
"The Female King of Colonial Nigeria is the story of a woman, Ahebi Ugbabe, who rose from the status of a local girl and commercial sex worker to that of a village headman, a warrant chief and a king.... Achebes study of Ahebi Ugbabe is significant because it salvaged the history of a woman who became the only warrant chief in colonial Nigeria, and perhaps Africa. Her book distinguishes between Western concepts of gender and sexuality, and the indigenous meanings of these concepts in an African setting.... Nwando Achebes book is well-written, amply researched, and efficiently documented. It is a major contribution to African history and the practice of oral history. It also offers African-based insights and interpretations to various Western concepts in gender and sexuality studies." - Ogechukwu Ezekwem, Reviews in History, March 2013
