SIERRA LEONE AT THE END OF THE TWENTIETH CENTUR...

Sierra Leone's current predicament can best be understood within a continuum spanning its
precolonial to its more contemporary history. This study traces the contradictions of the
historical legacy and the excesses of the independent nation-state to unravel the sequences of
dependency that culminated almost inevitably in political instability  unprecedented
socio-economic decline  and civil war. The authors draw on a rich texture of historical and
political insights reflecting established knowledge  while also plumbing contemporary orature
to present a truly holistic perspective of this soft state. Students  scholars  or general
readers interested in the dilemmas of developing states will find this essential reading.
