AHA Session 286
Sunday, January 5, 2025: 3:30 PM-5:00 PM
Petit Trianon (New York Hilton, Third Floor)
Chair:
Saheed Aderinto, Florida International University

Session Abstract

Historical research on Nigerian history has continued to conform with existing theoretical expositions while continuing to explore new trends. These new trends problematize what constitutes sources and agency in Nigerian history. They engage with new sources, reread existing ones, and offer new theoretical insights that are compelling scholars to rethink existing paradigms. The authors of the papers in this panel are concerned with animal history, conflict and nation-building, and food.
