Lineages of State Fragility - Rural Civil Society in Guinea-Bissau (Hardcover)

Combines the use of primary and secondary sources, as well as modern political theory to show the resilience of this often overlooked country. In this impressive work Forrest examines a significant and overlooked aspect of Guinea-Bissau's political evolution: the continuing ability of civil society to evade and thwart state power. The work identifies the social formations that account for civil societal strength and analyses the socially, politically, and militarily significant experiences of rural civil society to account for the social origins of Guinea-Bissau's soft state.
