Why and how, in a new state strategically located in Central Africa and rich in mineral resources, did this happen? How did the Zairian state become a "parasitic predator" upon its own people? The authors examine the political history of Mobutu's Zaire, looking at critical structures and patterns of societal flux, inequality, and cleavage, in particular the urban-rural nexus, the problematic of class formation, and the fluid patterns of cultural pluralism. 517 3 $aRise & decline of the Zairian state 607 $aCongo (Democratic Republic)$xPolitics and government$y1960-1997 676 $a967.5/103 700 $aYoung$b Crawford$f1931-$0244923 701 $aTurner$b Thomas$f1939-$01688444 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808101003321 996 $aThe rise and decline of the Zairian state$94062693 997 $aUNINA
