Thank God, someone has finally noticed the pivotal contribution of a mega-intellectual. This book by
\nProfessor Toyin Falola is the megaphone that sounds the trumpet of the essential works of the late
\nProfessor J. A. Atanda, perhaps the greatest chroniclers of Yoruba history. No doubt, The Collected Works Of J A. Atanda is another notable work that celebrates one of our unsung intellectual generals, an essential read for any lover of Yoruba history- Dr Michael O. Afolayan, Founder & Lead, M&P Educational Consulting International<\/div>\n
\nThis is a beautiful and excellent collection in remembrance of a renowned and worthy Yoruba historian-\u00a0Julius O. Adekunle, Professor of African History, Monmouth University<\/div>\n
\nProfessor Atanda’s intellectual legacy is not just his painstaking reconstruction and penetrating analyses of the Yoruba past, but also his unique presentation style. The dexterity with which he simultaneously juggles political and social themes marks him out as the quintessential historian.<\/div>\n
