State and Society in Nigeria

The new edition revisits and expands upon the influential essays from the original 1980 publication, maintaining its relevance in the study of state-society relations in Nigeria. It incorporates recent developments in political economy, politics, and sociology, exploring critical issues such as the Civil War, oil politics, debt, democratization, and the interplay of ethnic identities and religious conflicts. The clarity and accessibility of the writing continue to make it a vital resource for teaching, research, and policy-making in Nigeria.
