Africa ConnectsBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph1-349-38403-8 0-230-62234-8 Includes bibliographical references and index.Thisvolume advances extant reflections on the state constituted as the Ur-Power in society, particularly in Africa.It analyzes how various agents within the Nigerian society'encounter' the state - ranging from the most routine form of contact to thespectacular. While many recent collections have reheated the old paradigms - of the perils of federalism; corruption; ethnicity etc, our focus here is on encounter , that is, the nuance and complexity of how the state shapes society and vice-versa.Through this, wedepart from the standard state versus society approach that proves so limiting in explaining the African political landscape.Africa ConnectsAfricaPolitics and governmentAnthropologyEthnologyAfricaCultureSociologyPolitical scienceAfricaHistoryAfrican PoliticsAnthropologyAfrican CultureSociologyPolitical ScienceAfrican HistoryAfricaPolitics and government.Anthropology.EthnologyAfrica.Culture.Sociology.Political science.AfricaHistory.African Politics.Anthropology.African Culture.Sociology.Political Science.African History.966.905/4Adebanwi Wedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtObadare Eedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910821727403321Encountering the Nigerian State4076020UNINA
