The Festival Parade of Daughters
"But what I have done is to put together something which can be considered as our own. Every detail documented here is a record of past and present events as narrated by the number of people I consulted and the ones I witnessed as a child. This book is written objectively as a base for our fast-fading culture to be preserved for future generations. But my satisfaction lies in the fact that it has afforded an opportunity for our traditional history to be introduced to the public." Orhuwhorun - a prominent community with the Udu Local Government whose 2006 population is cited by Fenfe at 142,480 - has for generations been known for an active and creative cycle of festive performances.

Nyang, whose career and intellectual pursuits spans more than 45 years—much of it at Howard University.

Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan's Soviet and post-Soviet political history has been tumultuous and varied, particularly with regard to the struggle for independence, democracy and sovereignty. Suha Bolukbasi here illustrates how post-Stalin resilience, the tolerance shown toward subtle nationalist expression and Gorbachev's relaxation of central control from Moscow were all-in-part responsible for the initial emergence of a more liberal atmosphere in Azerbaijan. As a result, issues such as Moscow's responsibility for environmental degradation, the depletion of Azerbaijan's oil, and unfavourable terms of trade have all begun to be freely discussed. However, the Azerbaijan-Armenia dispute over Karabagh has had a dramatic impact on the political discourse. The dispute has become not only an international conflict, but one which involves the lives of more than one million refugees. This book shows how Azerbaijan's recent political history - both domestic and international - has influenced the development of the country and the history of the surrounding region.
