Beskrivning
Focusing on the condition of public authority in Africa, Twilight Institutions investigates how, when confronted with state failure, public institutions attempt to gain authority; operating in the twilight between state and society, between public and private. Approaches public authority ‘from below’, exploring a variety of concrete encounters between forms of public authority and the more or less mundane practices of ordinary people

Recensioner i media

"This volume offers well-researched and original insights into an important area of politics. Compared to contributions from anthropology on politics in Africa in the 1990s, this volume takes a more fruitful direction." (African History, March 2008) “Offer[s] insightful analytical perspectives on the emergency and behavior of ‘twilight institutions’ … good addition for university libraries and collections specializing in Africana and comparative politics. Recommended.”(Choice Reviews)
