Opis

A vivid ethnographic study of cattle traders, truckers, public contractors and NGO actors' everyday encounters with state bureaucracies in Ngaoundéré, Cameroon.

Recenzje

'… because of the richness of its ethnography, the book is also important beyond Cameroon. It opens possibilities for the discerning reader to connect this ethnography to many threads of anthropological discussion on the political economy of liberalization in sub-Saharan African states as well as other regions outside the continent, including postsocialist economies in Europe and Asia.' Rogers Orock, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
