for ‘memory’ read also ‘knowledge’, ‘information’

Domain

  • 20th century southeastern Nigeria
  • emphasis on post-1945, and esp. independent Nigeria
  • Conceptualising a political economy of ‘Igboness’ – ’symbolic economy’ (does this have a useful meaning?)
  • COR State as proxy/aggregate of grievances

Dimensions for analysis

  • intergenerational contexts and conflict (information flows)
  • resource creation, identification, and access
  • public domain/’civil society’

Components (please add!)

Partners

  • Oxford – Africa (esp. SE Nigeria) in history, anthropology, political science
  • Uyo – academics (history, anthropology?, geography) and logistics
  • other Nigerian universities?
  • Funding bodies – British Academy, etc.

Notes

what sorts of records do we need/can we identify? and how?
is this about minorities and decolonisation?

For clarification, when I write about humanitarianism as a component of this broader issue of violence and memory, what I’m trying to get at is the way in which the complex (hybrid?) heritage of development helped shape both a vocabulary of resource entitlement, and a differential degree of access to (or ‘opportunity regarding’) these resources.
