Kurzfassung:
Through ethnographic case studies of Africans' quotidian encounters with state bureaucracy, infrastructure, discipline, citizenship, democracy, political economy, education, and health, this book demonstrates how the state not only enables but also constrains and complicates ordinary Africans' daily struggles to live and live well.
