Based on extensive research in Cameroon since 1989, "African State and Society in the 1990s" is the first major English-language study that covers the political crisis there of the early 1990s between the regime and opposition forces and the ensuing impasse of the mid-decade. Appearing at a time when national elections for 1997 may trigger further conflicts, the book adds a key case study to African democratization scholarship.
