Present, past and future of citizenship in Africa.Who belongs to the nation? How is citizenship defined? And why have such identities become so politically explosive in recent years? This book explores the instrumental manipulation of citizenship and narrowing definitions of national-belonging which refract recent political struggles in Zimbabwe, Cote d’Ivoire, Cameroon, Somalia, Tanzania, and South Africa. Conflicts which have arisen over the resources of the post-colonial state are increasingly legitimated through recourse to claims of nationhood and citizenship. The contributors address the historical roots of national and ethnic identities, the material and symbolic resources which are contested within states, and the relative importance of elite manipulation and subaltern agency.African social studies series ;v. 16.CitizenshipAfricaNation-stateAfricaPolitics and government1960-AfricaSocial conditionsCitizenshipNation-state.960Dorman Sara Rich1462451Hammett Daniel Patrick1462452Nugent Paul1962-1462453MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782555403321Making nations, creating strangers3671436UNINA
