Making Nations, Creating Strangers

States and Citizenship in Africa

Herausgeber: Nugent, Paul; Dorman, Sara; Hammett, Daniel

Beschreibung

This book explores the instrumental manipulation of citizenship and narrowing definitions of national-belonging which refract political struggles in Zimbabwe, Cote d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Somalia, Tanzania, and South Africa, where conflicts are legitimated through claims of exclusionary nationhood and redefinitions of citizenship.
