Patrons and Power: Creating a Political Community in Metropolitan Lagos: African Seminars: Scholarship from the International African Institute

Autor Sandra T. Barnes
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 aug 2020
Originally published in 1986, this urban political ethnography focusses on Mushin, a large suburb of metropolitan Lagos, Nigeria. It explores the mechanisms which bridge the various social categories to bring about political interaction. The book traces the development of Mushin from a collection of rural villages to its full status as a political community. It analyses structures and processes and the ways in which, since the 19th century, the system has responded to colonial, civilian and military regimes. It examines the tactics ordinary people use to meet their needs and the ways in which political aspirants manipulate the system to acquire and wield power.

Recenzii

'The courageous men and women who peopled the city's fast-growing urban peripheries decades earlier are no different from the hopeful people who now congregate at the city's margins. For the urban pioneers of Lagos the story is the same. It is a never-ending story of human ingenuity.' Sandra T. Barnes, University of Pennsylvania
