Marrying Wealth, Marrying Poverty, is a book with a fascinating glimpse of study of the lives of the Igbo women and men of Southeast Nigeria in the context of bridewealth and power. It defly explores the implications, complexities, and paradoxes of Igbo bridewealth traditions and provides groundbreaking insights. Through case studies, on bridewealth and marriage, culture, gender, and feminist senses, it illustrates a carnival of the power relations after marriage. It equally demnstrates how bridewealth has remained a strong tradition among the Igbo - encompassing their notions of kinship, social organization and gender power dynamics. The book is in itself a unique ethnographic piece of work for students, instructors, researchers and also a vital ressource for social policy makers and the reading public in culture theory and application of gender and bridewealth power after marriage.
