About this book
Reviews
“State Building and National Identity Reconstruction in the Horn of Africa is a collection of chapters that claim authenticity based on authorship – all authors are from the Horn of Africa and have personal experiences with the two major sub-themes of the book: State building and National Identity. Redie Bereketeab and his colleagues have stitched to together an invaluable synthesis of the constraining effects of sub-national identities on state building and its presumed consequences in terms of peace and security. This book offers in-depth country and cross-country analysis, updated materials and a comprehensive re-reading of the Horn of African politics and society and the dialectics of an often-strained relationship between the two. A must read.” (Mohamed Salih, Professor of Politics of Development, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Netherlands)<
“This collection offers a penetrating analysis of the challenges to modern state building in the Horn of Africa.” (Peter Woodward, Professor Emeritus, University of Reading, UK)
