About the Author

Review

...a magnificent book, impressive in its aims and highly remarkable in its execution. (V. Y. Mudimbe)

Based on a combination of dependency theory-class analysis and liberalism....Howard's work is properly viewed as part of a larger intellectual search for at least a partial synthesis between these two schools of thought. This search represents the most significant trend in contemporary social theory. (Africa Today)

This sophisticated analysis, with its superlative bibliography and index, raises a number of controversial issues and should be on the required reading list of Africanists and those concerned with human rights. (CHOICE)

One can...value the contributions of this provocative work. It deserves a wide readership, most especially among those concerned with development and the political economy. (Contemporary Sociology)
