description: This is the third companion volume in the Identity? Theory, History, Politics series and focuses primarily on identity and nation-building. National Identity and Democracy in Africa, edited by Mai Palmberg, offers the reader a global comparative analysis and significantly extends the thematic range of the previous two texts to include cultural landscapes, power and conflict, literary critiques and discourses on the politics of nation building. Policy makers, academics, postgraduate students and scholars interested in international relations, philosophy, political science, psychology, history, sociology, cultural anthropology, gender issues, development and African studies will find the accounts novel and insightful. Furthermore, it is essential reading for anyone interested in grappling with the politics of identity and its implications for African Renaissance discourse.
