More about the book

The book explores the complexities of governance in neocolonial African states, highlighting how these governments employ varied modes of rule across different population segments. It contrasts democratic practices, influenced by Western ideals, with colonial-style domination experienced by the majority. The text critiques the selective application of human rights within civil society while revealing the neglect of these rights in uncivil and traditional societies. This disparity complicates the formation of a unified anti-neocolonial resistance, as diverse political subjectivities emerge from these differing experiences.
