About the book
In a Western Nigerian village, the missionary ideal of “one man, one wife” collides with local custom, suspicion, and competing moral systems.
First published in 1959 and later revised, One Man, One Wife is a sharp social comedy about Christianity, indigenous belief, marriage, authority, and a community negotiating rapid change. Its return to print helps launch Iska Press's New African Library.
