"'Citizen and Subject' is unparalleled in its ability to re-frame the polarized and reductive debates that are still the substance of Africanist political science, just as they were 20 years ago - debates over concepts like clientelism, corruption, democratization, ethnic violence, or civil society." Adam Branch in "Africa is a Country"
