Issues in the Contemporary Politics of Sub-Saharan Africa

Focusing on the dynamics of political struggle and resistance, the book delves into contemporary African politics through the lens of peasant politics, debt, structural adjustment, and democratization. It highlights the significance of agency in the political landscape, using in-depth case studies from Mozambique, Nigeria, and Burkina Faso to illustrate how resistance is intertwined with post-colonial development. This innovative approach offers valuable insights, making it an essential resource for upper-level undergraduates and postgraduate students studying African politics.
