{"value"=>"<p>This series reflects mostly Nigeria through newspaper clippings, pamphlets, and serials. This printed matter was mostly generated in Nigeria, by commercial publications, government issued printed matter, and privately printed material for local distribution. While this material focused on economic, military, and political events in Nigeria, several of the publications represent other concerns. A sampling of the publications includes <span class=\"title\">African Traditional Beliefs Concepts of Health and Medical Practice</span>, <span class=\"title\">Fight Against Leprosy</span>, Kano State of Nigeria publications (Kano State is located in the northern region of Nigeria), <span class=\"title\">Nigeria The Problem of Relief in the Aftermath of the Nigerian Civil War</span>, and <span class=\"title\">Ojukwu's Rebellion and World Opinion</span>. The latter two publications reflect upon the Nigerian Civil War between the government of Nigeria and the state of Biafra. Since Herskovits regularly traveled to Nigeria and other African countries, she was able to obtain this material. She labeled a group of material \"Biafra Propaganda\" without explanation. The files also hold maps of Nigeria, posters, and stamps.</p>"}
