| | 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. |
