Rezensionen

'Iyam provides insights about the role of women in an area of Nigeria outside of those usually discussed. Matriarchy and Power in Africa is filled with beautifully written vignettes that illustrate life with Aneji Eko and will open readers' eyes to a way of life very different from their own.' - Elisha Renne, University of Michigan, USA
