Book Description
This volume gathers contributors across a wide range of disciplines to explore the relationship between the environment, economics, and development in Nigeria from the twentieth century to the present, examining issues such as violence, health, and contemporary concerns about sustainability and conservation. It sheds light not just on the environmental history of Nigeria – a crucial, paradigmatic case in its own right – but also offers insights into these issues as they manifest themselves throughout the developing world.
