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 connects.NigeriaHistoryNigeriaPolitics and government1993-2007NigeriaPolitics and government2007-966.905/4Adebanwi Wale1763130Obadare Ebenezer1633726MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821727403321Encountering the Nigerian state4203414UNINA
