Review
"An important contribution to a complex and seminal issue, treated in depth and without jargon. A must for all Africanists, faculty, graduate students, upper-division undergraduates, and those trying to understand 'tribalism.'" -- P.C.W. Gutkind, Choice
"The book's wealth of detail greatly enhances our understanding of the volatility and complexity of ethnic consciousness and ethnic behavior, and the essays add substantially to our knowledge of particular societies." -- Leonard Thompson, African Studies Review
"[This] remarkably fine and original book leaves the historian with the exciting feeling that modern African historiography is on the verge of an almost complete revision and reevaluation. . . . [Vail's] brilliant introduction . . . is perhaps the best short discussion of the phenomenon of African 'tribalism' yet to appear and should become required reading for all students of modern Africa." -- John Flint, International History Review
