The transdisciplinary contributions in Fragmented Identities of Nigeria analyze Nigeria as a microcosm of global African identity crises to address the deep-rooted conflicts within multi-ethnic, multi-linguistic, multi-religious, and multicultural societies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy studying Nigeria as a country manufactured for the interests of colonial forces and ingrained with feudal hegemonic agendas of global powers working against emancipation of African people, Fragmented Identities of Nigeria examines the history, evolution, and consequences of Nigeria’s sociopolitical and economic crises. The contributors make suggestions for pulling Nigeria from the brink of an identity implosion which was generated by years of governance by leaders without vision or understanding of what is at stake in global black history. Throughout, the collection argues that it is time for Nigeria to reassess, renegotiate, and reimagine Nigeria’s future, whether it be through finding an amicable way the different ethnicities can continue to co-exist as federating or confederating units or to dissolve the country which was created for economic exploitation by the United Kingdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Ayotunde (Tunde) Isola Bewaji\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter One: The Regime of Mental Magnitude and Identity Fragmentation of Nigeria \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Ayotunde (Tunde) Isola Bewaji\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Two: Religious Nationalism and Politics of Identity in Contemporary Nigeria \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMichael Onyebuchi Eze\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Three: Demystifying Identity Crises in Nigeria\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRotimi Omosulu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter Four: Ethnicity and English as a ‘Neutral’ Language in Nigeria’s Multilingual Space\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBolanle O.
