This volume advances extant reflections on the state constituted as the Ur-Power in society, particularly in Africa. It analyzes how various agents within the Nigerian society 'encounter' the state - ranging from the most routine form of contact to the spectacular. While many recent collections have reheated the old paradigms - of the perils of federalism; corruption; ethnicity etc, our focus here is on 'encounter', that is, the nuance and complexity of how the state shapes society and vice-versa. Through this, we depart from the standard state versus society approach that proves so limiting in explaining the African political landscape.

Rare Book
The book comprises a lively and wide-ranging discussion of the intersecting discourses of race, gender, and empire in literature, in history, and in contemporary culture generally. Beginning with the metaphor of 'the other woman' as a repository for the 'otherness' of all women in a masculinist-racist society, the discussion moves to elucidate the way discourses of race and sexuality thwart the realization of true inter-racial sisterhood.
