Africa and the Nation-state: State Formation and Identity in Ancient Egypt, Hausaland, and Southern AfricaEdwin Mellen Press, 2006 - 228 pages This book challenges socio-historical analyses that posit a relationship between modernity and the nation-state. It questions whether the nation-state is a distinctively European phenomenon that emerged as a result of some combination of the development of capitalism and the legacy of citizenship derived from the French Revolution. The book defines the state, differentiates it from the nation, and in so doing, defines the nation-state. |
