Watson (history, Birkbeck College, U. of London, UK) presents a political and cultural history of the Nigerian city of Ibadan, the most populous city of British Nigeria, from its establishment as a war-camp in 1829 to 1939. Adopting the perspective that civic culture is best understood through the ways that the city's residents perceived chieftaincy politics and their shifting roles as social actors, she argues that the struggles to define the institutional and constitutional character of civic politics were simultaneously symbolic and material. She chronologically examines these struggles as Ibadan expanded, first within the context of regional warfare and then as it was incorporated into the British Empire.
