Sierra Leone at the End of the Twentieth Century: Society and Politics in Africa, cartea 8

Autor Earl Conteh-Morgan, Mac Dixon-Fyle, Earl Coteh-Morgan
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Sierra Leone's current predicament can best be understood within a continuum spanning its precolonial to its more contemporary history. This study traces the contradictions of the historical legacy and the excesses of the independent nation-state to unravel the sequences of dependency that culminated almost inevitably in political instability, unprecedented socio-economic decline, and civil war. The authors draw on a rich texture of historical and political insights reflecting established knowledge, while also plumbing contemporary orature to present a truly holistic perspective of this soft state. Students, scholars, or general readers interested in the dilemmas of developing states will find this essential reading.
