2.0 out of 5 stars
a mixed bag at best,
This review is from: Imperialism and Ethnic Politics in Nigeria, 1960-96 (Paperback)
This book is not what it seems according to either of the above book reviews. More about the mistreatment of Nigeria by Britain, France, the US and the IMF, the author spends very little of his time on ethnic politics in Nigeria. Instead, Badru focuses on the very real but off-topic problems of economic imperialism and neo-colonialism, giving us a good history of post-independence Nigeria in addition to an introductory chapter about Marxist sociology's view of the state. While relevant to those protesting in Prague, this analysis is not helpful to those of us who want to know more about ethnicity in Nigeria, the most populous country in black Africa. Badru's only take on ethnic politics is the typical Marxist stance that it is less important than class politics.Oh, and the proof-reading on this book was really bad, with lots of mispellings and missed words. Don't waste your time. |
