Legitimacy and the State in Twentieth-century Africa (St Antony's Series) Book

This study takes as its theme the ways in which governments legitimize their rule, both to themselves and to their subjects. Its introduction explores legitimacy and pre-colonial states, but the three sections of the book deal with colonial legitimacy, the question of legitimation in the transition from colonialism to majority rule and the contemporary debate about accountability. Terence Ranger has also edited "The Invention of Tradition" with Eric Hobsbawm, "Peasant Consciousness and Guerrilla War in Zimbabwe" and "Epidemics and Ideas" with Paul Slack. Olufemi Vaughan is the author of "Chieftancy Politics and Social Relations in Nigeria" in the "Journal of Commonwealth and Comparative Politics".Read More
