Abstract:Reflecting on the processes of nation-building and citizenship formation in Africa, the author claims that although some deep parochial identities have eroded, they have not disappeared. They may be more assertive than previously thought, especially in instances of political conflict. Chapters: 1. Identity, citizenship, and nation building in Africa; 2. Theoretical and formal-legal dimensions of the concept of citizenship in Africa; 3. Toward an analytical framework of identity and citizenship in Africa; 4. Nigeria: indigeneity and citizenship; 5. Ethiopia: the politics of late nation building and the national question; 6. Côte d'Ivoire: Ivorité and citizenship; 7. Kenya: citizenship, land, and ethnic cleansing; 8. Rwanda: exclusionary nationalism, democracy, and genocide. Summary and conclusion: identity, citizenship, and social conflict. [ASC Leiden abstract]
