This collection is an important revisionist study of China's recent past. The three major sections of this work taken into account the historical shape of the century, local perspectives on national history and reflections on cultural history.

"This study analyses democratic transition in the five countries in Anglophone West Africa. Rather than falling into the "normal" trap of a juxtaposition of parallel studies, it uses a methodologically rigorous comparative approach to identify regional trends and specificities. The study shows that democracy is in the region's agenda precisely because it has been denied to the people for too long. There is a determined struggle for human rights because the inhabitant, have been repeatedly stripped of their rights and dignity over time. The study identifies a number of transversal issues that cut across the region, namely: the rise of a militarised security state; a significant increase in public corruption and the primitive accumulation of capital; an intense battle for deepening democracy between civil society and the state; the appropriation of gender politics by the state through the office of "First Ladies"; and the growing disengagement between elections and political choice. The study also discusses both an acceptable regional model - the Ghanaian one, and an unacceptable model - the Liberian example."--BOOK JACKET.
