Subnationalism in Africa : ethnicity, alliances, and politics

"The trend toward subnationalist autonomy - and away from the development of singular, state-centric political systems based on the Western model - is one of the most striking phenomena in Africa today. Joshua Forrest analyzes the expansion of ethnic subnationalist movements in the postcolonial period, the reasons behind their growth, and their implications for African politics."--Jacket
