Description
Book Synopsis
Graham Harrison investigates contemporary African politics by privileging the dynamics of political struggle and resistance. Through the analysis of peasant politics, debt and structural adjustment, democratization and identity politics, the author shows the importance of resistance and agency. Detailed studies of Mozambique, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso demonstrate how political organization and resistance have been closely ingrained in particular post-colonial trajectories. An original and refreshing approach to the study of African politics, this will be a useful textbook for upper level undergraduates and postgraduate students.Review Quotes
'interesting, well considered, and skilfully applies the main themes through recourse to examples...a valuable addition to the teaching material on African politics...[It] will be welcomed by teachers of African politics and international relations who will find it useful in a classroom setting'. - Chris Alden, Department of International Relations, London School of Economics
