This book traces the formation of the Sudanese state following the Second World War through a developmentalist ideology.

Recenzje

'… the book powerfully illuminates how discussions regarding economic policy cannot be disentangled from broader questions of meaning of nationalism and legitimate political order as well as how political and economic marginalization is rationalized with purportedly neutral justifications.' Zhe Yu Lee, Journal of Economic Geography
