The fourteen countries in west and equatorial Africa that formed
the heart of what was once France's African colonial empire - all
independent now for more than four decades - still retain French as
an official language, remain attached to French culture, and
maintain political links with France. Each country, however, has
developed its own distinctive brand of politics. Victor Le Vine
traces the political evolution of these countries, exploring the
elements that have shaped their particular political dynamics while
allowing them to remain part of a unique francophone sociopolitical
community. Le Vine's provocative discussion of topics ranging from
the colonial context, political culture, and religion to
""redemocratization,"" informal politics, and international
relations offers a comprehensive, unique perspective on the
workings of this relatively little-known group of states.
