Citizen and subject : contemporary Africa and the legacy of late colonialism
Offers an account of colonialism's legacy - a bifurcated power that mediated racial domination through tribally organized local authorities, reproducing racial identity in citizens and ethnic identity in subjects. This book shows that Apartheid was the generic form of the colonial state in Africa.
