The author combines a deep knowledge of the historical and geographical contexts; extensive use of archival and local secondary sources; and over 100 interviews with former and current student activists, and with observers of student activism. These are woven into an engagingly written narrative that builds a vivid picture of the involvement of students in political change...the book addresses a fascinating topic of considerable contemporary relevance. It represents a major contribution to our knowledge of both the sociology of students and African politics.' - Nicola Ansell, Senior Lecturer, Department of Geography and Earth Sciences, Brunel University''...an engaging investigation into an under-researched population in some of the world's most neglected places.
