Résumé

Résumé : This book provides an insight on the life and times of Roseline Ihediwanma Okonkwo. Born on 10 October 1940 in Eluama Isuikwuato, Abia State Nigeria. She was a nurse, mother, grandmother, humanist and a devoted Christian of the Church Missionary Society (Anglican Communion). This book provides an ethno historical background on her place of birth in Isuikwuato, family values, upbringing, marriage and public life as a nurse and health administrator. Furthermore, this volume enhances our understanding of biographical writings and historical traditions in multiplicity of ways. Significantly, the book challenges the assertion made by V. Fox-Strangeways the colonial District Officer in charge of Okigwe in 1933 against the people of Isuikwuato. Using Roseline's sense of humility and hard work, the book provides new epistemological debates on the politics of knowledge production, historical traditions and intellectual decoloniality.
