Issue Number 9 (2021) of the Igbo Studies Review arrives at a moment of global reflection, bringing together scholarship that interrogates the intersections of tradition, modernity, and resilience within Igbo communities. This volume features a rigorous examination of digital media’s role in reshaping contemporary Igbo identity, an oral‑history project tracing pandemic‑era responses in rural southeastern towns, and an insightful study of transnational artistic collaborations by Igbo diasporans in Europe. Also included is a landmark analysis of indigenous legal practices under Nigerian constitutional reform, alongside a piece on youth‑led language revitalization efforts in urban centers. Richly illustrated and grounded in archival as well as field‑work research, Issue 9 underscores the Review’s dedication to pushing disciplinary boundaries while amplifying voices from across the Igbo world.
