"For anyone who wishes to understand the politics of Africa, there
is no better book from which to start."
Professor John Dunn, King’s College, Cambridge
Professor John Dunn, King’s College, Cambridge
"A masterpiece in Africanist literature."
Corruption and Reform
"Every now and then, something comes along which changes the way
in which we think about our subject. Such a book is Jean-Francois
Bayart's The State in Africa."
African Affairs
"This book should be read by all those (whether scholars or not)
who are seriously concerned with understanding post-colonial
African politics. Here, at last, is a book which goes beyond facile
generalizations and intellectual or cultural prejudice, which
respects rather than demeans Africa. The State in Africa is
without doubt one of the most challenging books on contemporary
Africa to have appeared in the last few years."
