Citizenship in Africa provides a comprehensive exploration of
nationality laws in Africa, placing them in their theoretical and
historical context. It offers the first serious attempt to analyse
the impact of nationality law on politics and society in different
African states from a trans-continental comparative perspective.
Taking a four-part approach, Parts I and II set the book within the
framework of existing scholarship on citizenship, from both
sociological and legal perspectives, and examine the history of
nationality laws in Africa from the colonial period to the present
day. Part III considers case studies which illustrate the
application and misapplication of the law in practice, and the
relationship of legal and political developments in each country.
Finally, Part IV explores the impact of the law on politics, and
its relevance for questions of identity and ‘belonging’ today,
concluding with a set of issues for further research. Ambitious in
scope and compelling in analysis, this is an important new work on
citizenship in Africa.
