Produktbeschreibung

Troubled Journey: Nigeria Since the Civil War probes into Nigeria's unique experience as modern African state. It pulls together a talented group of Nigerian historians writing on Nigeria since Independence Day on October 1, 1960, through the devastating Civil War of 1967-1970 into present day. This book is a major contribution to the on-going debate about how the country can best be politically restructured and socio-economically reformed.
