In contemporary Africa, questions concerning origin are currently among the most crucial and contested issues in political life, directly relating to the politics of place, belonging, identity and contested citizenship. Thus, land claims and autochthony disputes are the hallmark of political crises in many places on the African continent. Examining the often complex reasons behind this recent rise of autochthony across a number of high-profile case studies - including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Co?te d'Ivoire, Liberia, and Kenya - this is an essential book for anyone wishing to understand the impact of this crucial issue on contemporary African politics and conflicts."--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aCitizenship$zAfrica$vCase studies 606 $aIndigenous peoples$xPolitics and government$vCase studies 606 $aAnthropology$2bicssc 607 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government 615 0$aCitizenship 615 0$aIndigenous peoples$xPolitics and government 615 7$aAnthropology 676 $a326.6/096 700 $aBøa?s$b Morten$f1965-$0427258 702 $aDunn$b Kevin C.$f1967- 801 0$bBTCTA 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826340203321 996 $aPolitics of origin in Africa$93951100 997 $aUNINA
