Reviews

The Ivoirian political elite, just like in most of the African countries, have exploited ethnicity, region and religion's tensions to maintain their political power over the resources of the country. There is no doubt this book is going to be one of the leading books in the political history of Cote d'Ivoire. (Prof. Olayiwola Agbegunrin, Howard University)
