Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Nigeria offers an innovative interdisciplinary perspective into Africa’s most populous country.
The handbook investigates the making of Nigeria, by shining a light on five pillars of nationhood within contemporary Nigerian society:
· Polity
· Economy
· Culture
· Education
· Religion
Multidisciplinary in its coverage and bringing together a mix of leading and emerging scholars, this handbook tracks the manifold societal, political and economic developments that have shaped the contemporary Nigerian state. It delves into detailed analyses of the dynamic tensions at play, between regional and national, modern and traditional and stability and change, while also examining how individuals, ideas and movements have brought about transformation. It juxtaposes the country’s modern complexities with investigations into its past in order to provide a comprehensive analysis of 21st century Nigeria.
The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Nigeria will be essential reading for students and scholars across the humanities and social sciences, as well as policymakers or those interested in understanding Nigeria today.
