This book is a study of the interplay of vernacular and global languages of politics during Africa's decolonization.

Recenzje

'Hunter's adeptness at moving between the specificity of such particular cases and the broad discussion of abstract ideas on a global scale is facilitated by her lucid writing and engagement with an impressively wide body of comparative scholarly literature. These features help make this book at once accessible to non-specialists and meaningful to Africanists.' Priya Lal, African Studies Review
