Reviews

...a magnificent book, impressive in its aims and highly remarkable in its execution.
*V. Y. Mudimbe*

Based on a combination of dependency theory-class analysis and liberalism....Howard's work is properly viewed as part of a larger intellectual search for at least a partial synthesis between these two schools of thought. This search represents the most significant trend in contemporary social theory.
*Africa Today*

This sophisticated analysis, with its superlative bibliography and index, raises a number of controversial issues and should be on the required reading list of Africanists and those concerned with human rights.
*CHOICE*

One can...value the contributions of this provocative work. It deserves a wide readership, most especially among those concerned with development and the political economy.
*Contemporary Sociology*
