| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article is a brief introduction to the writings of Nigerian scholar and writer Remy Ilona. In his work, Ilona argues that an undeniable induction can be made that the Igbo of Nigeria are religio-cultural descendants of the ancient Israelites as depicted in the Hebrew Bible. This article argues that his ideas constitute a postcolonial mythopoesis that is not only cosmic in scope, but also responsive to the social problems engendered by modern slavery and colonialism. |
