The Black Man's Burden: Africa and the Curse of the Nation-State
by
by
A reasonable overview of the nation state formation process in Africa and its issues; further illustration of the fact that “the balance of power” is something that evolves between institutions and individuals over time and can’t be simply imposed upon a society.
I approach history books with practical purposes in mind - that said, I award two stars, because I didn’t feel that I gained many valuable insights or learning from reading this work.
