Résumé

Résumé : This book represents the culmination of three years of rigorous doctoral research and comprehensive ﬁeldwork on conﬂict resolution among the matrilineal Cross River Igbo of Nigeria from pre-colonial times to 1996. It explained matrilineaty and reveals how these communities developed unique institutions for resolving family, social, political, religious, and communal disputes systems that were resilient even in the face of colonial rule, modern courts, and faith-based interventions. The book stresses that although these communities are matrilineal, leadership remained in the hands of men, with women excluded from core judicial roles. The book also uncovers how colonial inﬂuence gave rise to chieftaincy, religious conﬂicts, as well as delay and capital- intensive processes in conﬂict resolution processes that continue to shape the region. By examining both continuity and change, the book examines the strengths and weaknesses of both indigenous and alien institutions and processes of conﬂict resolution mechanisms and proposes an all-inclusive hybrid model of conﬂict resolution for today's diverse societies. Furthermore, the time frame of this book is signiﬁcant: the pre-colonial period represents fully indigenous institutions and processes of conﬂict resolution mechanisms, while 1996 was the year that the government resolved a prolonged conﬂict in the area under review using traditional and alien institutions.
