Vasha7 Some of the books on this list concern the old Kingdom of Benin, located in what is now southern Nigeria, and others are set in the area of the unrelated current Republic of Benin, further to the east. Was it intended for the list to contain both?

Just to be clear, here's a breakdown of what is where:

REPUBLIC
Fools, Thieves and Other Dreamers
The Viceroy of Ouidah
Flash for Freedom
Show Me the Magic
The Dahomean
Will Do Magic for Small Change
Life & Afterlife in Benin
Wives of the Leopard
Les Appels du vodún
Les Tresseurs de corde
Blood Is Dirt
Agotime
Snares Without End
Why Monkeys Live in Trees
Amazons of Black Sparta
Instruments of Darkness
To Benin and Back
Dahomey as It Is
A Mission to Gelele, King of Dahome
Why Goats Smell Bad
Say You're One of Them
It Takes a Village
The Market Lady and the Mango Tree
The Big Killing
A Darkening Stain

KINGDOM
Dawn to Dusk
When Gods Bleed
Edo: The Bini People of the Benin Kingdom
Once Upon a Kingdom

UNSPECIFIED
Benin Light is set in a fictional seaport along the coast of the Bight of Benin; the author does not indicate what country it's supposed to be in

UNKNOWN TO ME
The description of Dubaku says it's set "somewhere near the Bight of Benin"
Halfhyde at the Bight of Benin: apparently, from the description, the main character goes ashore along the coast of the Bight, but not having read it I couldn't say where exactly
