O knihe
The study examines the potency of conflict resolving architecture, employed by the Zurus of Kebbi State; a typical traditional African society. Worthy of note is the fact that, their dispute settlement machinery is imbedded in the Lelna traditional structures. The book situates efficacy of the settlement style as revolving around the M'gilo sacred institution. Using mainly oral interviews and archival sources, the study dwells more, on conflicts arising from allegations of witchcraft, rape, poisoning, land disputes and murder cases. The book posits that although British colonialists eventually succeeded in imposing Islamic judicial system, which was not as effective as that of the Zuru land, the traditional machinery could not be abolished since it has proved to be the last resort in quelling crises in the emirate. The book submits that, the rich cultural heritage of the Zuru people is a veritable tool for nation building and as such, should not be allowed to go extinct.
