Summary: Taking Northern Nigeria during the years 1946 to 1966 as an example, Professor Whitaker shows how modern institutions-parliamentary representation, a cabinet system, popular suffrage, and political parties-were introduced and how they resulted not in a displacement of tradition but in an astute absorption by traditional forces.Originally published in 1970.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
