Publisher's Synopsis
The book lucidly describes the history of the Olukumi Kingdom: A bilingual and sophisticated Black African community who were the first humans to inhabit their indigenous homeland, but continue to be discriminated and deprived by their majority newly arrived neighbours. The Olukumis practiced female to female marriages long before minority rights like LGBT rights became recognised even in advanced Western countries. This book aims to chronicle the history of the Olukumis (a unique tribe in Nigeria) as far as recollections from oral or traditional and written records as well as research have, for the time being, revealed and, in the process, throw some light on the language, socio-political environment, as well as some aspects of the customs and traditions of the Olukumi people.
