From Colonialism to Confederation
The receding tide of European imperialism has left many exotic and fragile political life-forms stranded on the foreshore of nationhood in the Third World. Whereas, a few decades ago, many of these new states would have been regarded as incapable of attaining independence, the haste with which colonies have been abandoned and the disregard for earlier strict criteria of economic and political viability have resulted in the creation of an unusuall…
An Emerging Nigerian Working Class
This study is seen as an exploration of a still largely unmapped area of recent Nigerian social history—the emergence of a wage labor force in response to the economic changes brought about by the British annexation of Lagos (1861) and the gropings of this social aggregate toward some form of common identity born of its shared experiences and disabilities under colonial rule. Broadly, the time focus covers the first 40 years of the present centur…
Armies On Loan
This chapter examines a surprisingly neglected tendency in post-colonial Africa: the widespread external involvement of African armies. It focuses on the ‘loaning’ of military units in pursuit of national foreign policy objectives. However, other means of deploying military resources are available to black African states. Some attention needs to be given to the reasons why black African states have engaged in external military intervention. Of th…
Africa for the Africans, 1923–1945
Africa for the Africans was the name given to the extraordinary movement led by Jamaican Marcus Mosiah Garvey (1887-1940). Volumes I-VII of the Marcus Garvey and Universal Negro Improvement Association Papers chronicled the Garvey movement that flourished in the United States during the 1920s. Now, the long-awaited African volumes of this edition demonstrate clearly the central role Africans played in the development of the Garvey phenomenon. The…
A Political History of the Gambia, 1816-1994
The only complete study of modern Gambian politics from the establishment of British rule to the overthrow of the Jawara government. A Political History of the Gambia: 1816-1994 is the first complete account of the political history of the former British West African dependency to be written. It makes use of much hitherto unconsulted or unavailable British and Gambian official and private documentary sources, as well as interviews with many Gambi…
Decolonizing Africa
The lack of congruence between state and ethnic group boundaries in post-colonial Africa is a well-recognized fact; yet, at the same time, attempts to redraw political boundaries more in line with
Democratisation’ under the military in The Gambia
A ‘democratic audit’ of The Gambia since the return to civilian rule reveals the ambiguous nature of redemocratisation under military direction. The military radicals, under Yahya Jammeh, ostensibly seized power to restore democracy and good governance, yet their continued rule in elected guise not only perpetuates the neo‐patrimonial leadership which they so despised under the deposed head‐of‐state, Sir Dawda Jawara, but also displays a level of…

The appeal of marxism to Africans
The recent retreat from Marxism on the part of individuals and governments in Africa should not blind us to the fact that communism in the past did prove attractive to a considerable number of Africans.1 While it is true that, with few exceptions, no large‐scale Marxist political movement emerged on the continent, yet radical elements among the colonial and post‐independence intelligentsia and labour movement, supplemented in the latter case by d…
