It shows how Kenneth Kaunda's United National Independence Party's (UNIP) grip on the new nation-state was, in contrast to official rhetoric, partial, uneven and consistently prone to challenge. Drawing on extensive archival research and interviews, Larmer offers a ground-breaking analysis of post-colonial political history which helps explain the challenges facing contemporary African polities.Empires and the making of the modern world, 1650-2000.Opposition (Political science)ZambiaZambiaPolitics and government1964-1991ZambiaPolitics and government1991-Electronic books.Opposition (Political science)324.26894Larmer Miles.968446MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456977803321Rethinking African politics2199526UNINA
