Abstract of Review
Title:Nigeria: The Economy and the People by Edwin Madunagu
Reviewer:S G Sadri
Location:Vol.14 No.38 (Spring 1987), pp119-120
 The latest manuscript of a dedicated Marxist-Leninist has been a welcome counterblast to the much bandied autobiographies of school masters like Alhaji Shehu Shagari and academics like Dr Joseph Wayas. Quite aptly sub-titled 'the political economy of state robbery and its popular-democratic negation' this work forms a necessary reading for all post-1960 research on Nigeria, and was meant as an educated response to the explanation given by the Nigerian bourgeoisie about the crisis of capitalism in the periphery.
