Argues that the established theories and debates on nationalism were formed in the twin crucibles of Eighteenth-century Europe and America, and continue to be informed by that heritage. This study challenges some of the key principles that underlie the current debates on nationalism by exploring in depth the experience of multinational states in Africa. Taking Ghana as a case study, it introduces and develops two important new contributions to the theoretical tapestry of nationalism, the Rationalisation of Nationalism and Reconstructing the Nation, concepts that could have wide use and currency in the broader discussion of the national phenomenon. Argues that the nationhood of Ghana is not rooted in modernity as is generally thought, and attempts to show by analysis of the micro-behaviour of its population that tradi-tional views on the viability of the multinational state do not necessarily hold true for modern-day Africa. 256pp, UK.

The first edition of this book, published in 1970, was widely acclaimed as the best account of grassroots politics to have emerged from Africa. One of its unique features is the extent to which the author has effectively integrated historical and anthropological issues into a political frame. The book is divided into three parts: the first looks retrospectively at the first edition and its relevance to Ghanas past, present and future; the second part considers the importance of comparative political studies to the development and fostering of the growth of an informed and knowledgeable political public and opinion leadership, covering history, culture and politics; and the third part presents an intellectual overview of Ghanaian political change, from Nkrumah to the peaceful transfer of power from the National Democratic Congress government to the New Patriotic Party at the start of the new millennium. 468pp, GHANA.
