The struggle for independence in Nigeria entailed the concession by its elite citizens of local competence in taking over political administration from the colonialists. Nonetheless, the experience within the first republic brought to the fore the complexities of managing such a huge population with multiethnic and multi-religious diversity. The spate of political and economic corruption at the time led to military incursion into political administration, which dovetailed into the Nigerian Civil war, which threatened the survival of the nation then grappling with stabilizing its polity.

Together with the Centre de Recherches Historiques (EHESS) and the Institut de Sciences Sociales du Politique (Université Paris Nanterre-ENS Paris Saclay-CNRS), the George and Irina Schaeffer Center for the Study of Genocide, Human Rights and Conflict Prevention is organizing an international conference: "Home as a place for anti-Jewish persecution in European cities, 1933-1945. Crossing urban social history and history of the Holocaust". The conference will be held at the American University of Paris on January 11th-12th, 2018.
