Toyin Falola examines violence as a tool of domination and resistance, however unequally applied, to get to the heart of why Nigeria has not built a successful democracy. Falola s analysis centers on two phases of Nigerian history: the last quarter of the 19th century, when linkages between violence and domination were part of the British conquest; and the first half of the 20th century, which was characterized by violent rebellion and the development of a national political consciousness. This important book emphasizes the patterns that have been formed and focuses on how violence and instability have influenced Nigeria today."ViolencePolitical aspectsNigeriaHistoryViolenceSocial aspectsNigeriaHistoryPolitical cultureNigeriaNigeriaHistory1851-1899NigeriaHistory1900-1960NigeriaPolitics and governmentTo 1960NigeriaColonizationNigeriaColonial influenceGreat BritainColoniesAfricaAdministrationViolencePolitical aspectsHistory.ViolenceSocial aspectsHistory.Political culture966.9/03Falola Toyin661412MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910967902503321Colonialism and violence in Nigeria4467013UNINA
