Originally published in 1986, this urban political ethnography
focusses on Mushin, a large suburb of metropolitan Lagos, Nigeria.
It explores the mechanisms which bridge the various social
categories to bring about political interaction. The book traces
the development of Mushin from a collection of rural villages to
its full status as a political community. It analyses structures
and processes and the ways in which, since the 19th century, the
system has responded to colonial, civilian and military regimes. It
examines the tactics ordinary people use to meet their needs and
the ways in which political aspirants manipulate the system to
acquire and wield power.
