This ground-breaking book makes sense of the complexities and dynamics of post-colonial African politics, illustrating how post-colonial theory has marginalised a huge part of its constituency. Eurocentric theory has failed to understand post-colonial Africa; this radical work traces how African identity has been constituted and reconstituted by examining movements such as negritude, and the rise of nationalism and decolonisation.
