This work creatively reexamines the chronology of the Aro Confederacy. It correlates this confederacy to other similar state formation models in Africa and establishes a chronology for the powerful 17th-century Confederacy, which exerted immense influence in what is today Nigeria.

This book is an invaluable resource for research on Aro studies.
