SOMEWHAT ARTIFICIALLY CREATED: Essays on Nigeria and Africa's Inherited Burden


THIS HOUSE HAS FALLEN: Nigeria in CrisisTHIS HOUSE HAS FALLEN: Nigeria in Crisis
Maier, Karl

After 15 years of continuous military dictatorship, Nigeria is poised on a fine edge, and however difficult to predict, its outcome could determine the fate not only of its immediate neighbors but of the rest of Africa as well. Religion, ethnicity, politics, corruption and grinding poverty simmer in a potent brew in Nigeria. Karl Maier's book illustrates the tensions that are threatening to tear apart one of the world's great multi-ethnic states. A brilliant piece of reportage and travel writing, This House Has Fallen looks into the Nigerian abyss and comes away with insight, profound conclusions, and even some hope. Notes, index, 320pp, USA.
