註釋

This comprehensive work covers most conceivable aspects of the history of the Uneme people of South Western Nigeria, and is a welcome addition to the scant literature on the Edoid speaking peoples. It is a series of scholarly accounts of the historical origins, tradition, and cultural institutions of the Uneme; their migrations, evolution and development; and impact of imperial forces on the culture. Within this structure, the book covers theories of origins, the techno-economic culture in Benin pre-1370, migration from Benin, the early growth of Uneme villages, towns, clans, allied communities from the 1370s to the early 1900s, cultural adaptation; and contact with external forces up until 1962. The book also offers an appraisal of the caste prejudice against the Uneme, and biographies of this people's most eminent personalities.
