About the Book

There is a widespread belief among the 20 to 30 million Igbo people of Nigeria that the Igbo people originated in ancient Israel. A number of Igbo Jewish communities have recently been established in Nigeria. Although some Igbo have found their way to Israel, the Israeli public is largely unaware of the fact that there are an additional 20 to 30 million Igbo people in Nigeria, who have been referred to by some as The Jews of West Africa. Igbo Jewish identity has significant political implications in Nigeria and Israel. This book offers a well-researched analysis and history of the long-standing and controversial Igbo narrative of possible Jewish origins, thereby creating a new reading of Igbo history. This interdisciplinary research monograph describes different layers of identity and shows step by step through the last 250 years of Igbo history how Jewish identification was part of Igbo identity and cultural practice. The book then shows the place of the Igbo in post-Biafran Nigeria and how, in the ethnically and religiously fragmented state, the judaizing Igbo, encouraged by parts of the Jewish world, are increasingly orienting themselves towards normative Judaism. The author offers a treasure trove of documented information about Nigerian Igbo Jewish identity, their relationship to the State of Israel, and their tragic recent history.

For several centuries there have been claims and assertions by both historians and social scientists that this very ingenious ethnic nationality is a lost tribe of Israel? Noting the undeniable cultural, behavioral, religious and linguistic similarities between the Igbos and the Jews, as first officially described in a book written in the late 18th century.

This book, The African African Tribe Of Jewish Descent: a tale of two nations connected by history, is an open window to the lives and relationship between these two great nations.
