The work centres on the impact of GlobaIization on African (Igbo) identity. The centrality of identity in the life of any people cannot be over emphasized. Identity is what something is or those qualities that distinguish one thing from the other, Identity is equally Iacated in time a d space and therefore a product of
history. It is not static. The historical experiences of any people go a long way in
forming, shaping and determining the identity of such people.
The African (Igbo) historical experiences of slavery, racism, colonialism and neo-colonialism have been very crucial and indispensable in the emergence of varying identities for the African. These historical experiences have also succeeded in ending the primordial and authentic African identity.
