eagle and the springbok, The: Essays on Nigeria and South Africa (Used)

By (author): Adekeye Adebajo. Scholar Adekeye Adebajo examines the fraught, rivalry-laden relationship between Africa's two largest and most influential states — Nigeria and South Africa — across politics, economics and culture. Together the two countries account for roughly a third of the continent's economic output and have driven much of Africa's conflict-resolution efforts over the past 25 years, while each also stands as the most ethnically or racially diverse nation in its region. Adebajo, director of the Institute for Pan-African Thought and Conversation at the University of Johannesburg, weighs their shared influence against decades of mutual suspicion and hegemonic rivalry.
